Violence Enters 5th Day as Egyptian General Blames Protesters
The raid before dawn was the second in as many days, and it left a 15-year-old protester in a critical condition with a gunshot wound in the neck, The Associated Press reported, citing a volunteer at a field hospital in Tahrir Square.
Security forces had initially forced the protesters out of the square, the report said, but they regrouped and re-entered the area from a different route. Troops and police officers withdrew after clashes in which both sides hurled rocks.
The clashes came after days of street fighting that has left 13 people dead.
But in a scornful news conference on Monday, Gen. Adel Emara of the ruling military council insisted that the military had never used violence against peaceful protesters.
“The armed forces and the police pledged not to use violence against protesters actively or even verbally,” he said. Instead, he said, the protesters had deliberately provoked soldiers into clashes as part of a plot “to destroy the state.”
Egypt will never fall, he declared, “as long as it has heroes from the armed forces.” And rather than apologize for the military’s violence, he threw back the challenge to the Egyptian news media: “Why don’t you talk about the excessive use of violence by the other side?”
