The relaxed atmosphere in the camp was disrupted early Tuesday when, protesters say, about 30 men attacked the area, wielding knives and sticks. They injured several people before being repulsed by the protesters. It was not clear who the men were.
While tension on the square is rising, the interim government also appears to be losing patience.
当广场里的气氛渐形紧张时,临时政府显然也失去了耐性。
In a tough statement broadcast on national television, and designed to discourage people from blocking government buildings as planned, interim council member Major General Mohsen al-Fangari warned activists not to deviate from their peaceful approach or do anything that would harm the national interest.
临时军事委员会的穆赫辛·埃尔凡加利少将在国家电视台发表讲话,警告抗议者不要偏离和平的方式,或者从事任何危害国家利益的行为。
