Egyptian Military Using Nerve Gas on Protesters

The Egyptian military has been using a banned chemical agent to deal with hundreds of thousands of protesters, according to several news sources.

At least 23 Egyptians have died and more than 1,700 have succumbed to a lethal gas military forces have been using during the past three days in clashes in and around Cairo's Tahrir Square.

The International Business Times reports that demonstrators have been struck with "dangerous levels of CR gas over the past two days of protests" and Australia's The Age said Wednesday that the canisters are marked "Made in the USA."

The BBC’s Helena Merriman says police were beating protesters – “about 20 or 30 of them I saw, covered in blood“

Tahrir Square in Cairo to try to seize control from protesters who had set up camp there.

Demonstrators fled as officers fired tear gas and beat them with truncheons. At least four people have died in the violence since Saturday, reports say.

By nightfall, thousands of protesters, some wearing gas masks, had returned.

The demonstrators say they fear Egypt’s military rulers are trying to retain their grip on power.

The violence comes a week before the country’s first parliamentary elections since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February.

We were told earlier by a doctor in the field hospital that they were finding live ammunition, that they were extracting it from some people’s arms and legs.
