Reuters/Brasil OnlineSUEZ (Reuters) - Tanques chegaram às ruas da cidade de Suez, no leste do país, na noite da sexta-feira (horário local), em frente aos restos chamuscados de uma delegacia de polícia incendiada na noite anterior, disse uma testemunha da Reuters.
Dezenas de manifestantes subiram em cima dos tanques, disse a testemunha, que viu pelo menos cinco veículos. As pessoas tentaram conversar com os soldados, que por sua vez procuravam tirá-las de cima dos tanques. Um dos tanques tinha cerca de 25 manifestantes em cima.
Moradores disseram à Reuters que os soldados abriram fogo contra os manifestantes. Não foi possível confirmar esses relatos imediatamente.

Egyptian army moves into Cairo as protests persist
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - The Egyptian army moved into the streets of Cairo on Friday evening, according to news reports, as the country's authorities sought to quell escalating protests that threaten to seriously destabilize one of the U.S.'s most important allies in the Middle East. As darkness fell, television pictures showed military vehicles taking up positions at intersections and other key points in Cairo.
