Egyptian forces, dispersing an overnight sit-in in Tahrir Square, killed two protesters Saturday, the first reported deaths in the Cairo plaza since president Hosni Mubarak's ouster, but demonstrators later swarmed back.
Witnesses said that troops, backed by riot police, fired live rounds mostly in the air and beat protesters who had camped out in the square after tens of thousands rallied on Friday for the prosecution of Mubarak and other leading figures of his regime.
