STORYLINE
Security forces fired tear gas and clashed with several thousand protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square in a third straight day of violence.
The unrest has led to the deaths of at least 24 people and turned into the most sustained challenge yet to the rule of Egypt's military.
Throughout the day, young activists demanding the military hand over power to a civilian government skirmished with black-clad police, hurling stones and firebombs and throwing back the tear gas canisters being fired by police into the square, which was the epicentre of the protest movement that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February.
As darkness fell, clouds of tear gas continued to fill the air, as fires burned in the streets.
"Whatever they do we will not give up. This is a war and we have to win it," said one young protester as he rubbed his eyes reddened from the tear gas.
The eruption of violence, which began on Saturday, reflects the frustration and confusion that has mired Egypt's revolution since Mubarak fell and the military stepped in to take power.
It comes only a week before Egypt is to begin the first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections, which many have hoped would be a significant landmark in a transition to democracy.
Instead, the vote has been overshadowed by mounting anger at the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which will continue to hold power even after the vote.
Activists accuse the generals of acting increasingly in the same autocratic way as Mubarak's regime and fear that they will dominate the coming government, just as they have the current interim one they appointed months ago.
The military says it will hand over power only after presidential elections, which it has vaguely said will be held in late 2012 or early 2013.
