Military rulers pull Egypt revolution back to square one...

Several hundred Egyptians occupied Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday, following a night of deadly clashes that signalled the start of a violent countdown to the first polls since Hosni Mubarak's ouster.

Fresh clashes broke out on the outskirts of the square, as anti-riot police fired regular rounds of tear gas and dozens of protesters set up barricades on the edges of the plaza.

Protesters streamed into Tahrir on Sunday morning and two large marches were planned into the square, in scenes reminiscent of the 18 days of protests that toppled Mubarak last winter.

Overnight, clashes between protesters and police left two people dead and hundreds injured. Full story...
