Egypt: Molotov cocktails fly in Tahrir Square

Pandemonium reigned Wednesday in Cairo as stinging tear gas was fired in the epicenter of the city's demonstrations, fueled by running street battles between pro- and anti-government forces.

In a surreal scene resembling the movie "Ben-Hur," demonstrators thundered through the crowds on horses and camels in central Tahrir Square. At least one man was pulled off his horse and beaten.

State-run television said the riders were pyramid workers who were protesting the negative economic impact of the crisis.

Embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's announcement Tuesday that he will not seek re-election had been expected to vacuum passion out of Egypt's nine-day uprising.

But the opposite rang true, at least in central Cairo, where mob rule was in sharp contrast to the jubilant mood of tens of thousands of anti-Mubarak protesters the day before.

Those Mubarak supporters are most probably police officers pretending to be civilians in support of him. They are afraid of being put on trial after the Mubarak era for their brutal treatment of political opponents, including torture and murder.
