Cairo. Egyptian troops fired warning shots at the main rally against President Hosni Mubararak in central Cairo on Wednesday in a bid to end clashes with regime supporters and the protesters reacted jubilantly.

"The army and the people hand in hand," the crowd shouted after dozens were injured in running battles between pro and anti-Mubarak demonstrators on Cairo's central Tahrir Square.
The army has positioned its tanks and troops around the square but this is thought to be the first time they have opened fire since they were deployed on Friday and police vanished from the capital's streets.
