Nine people were wounded when unknown attackers fired at protesters camping at Tahrir Square in Cairo Tuesday night, according to witnesses and Egyptian media, as opponents and supporters of President Mohamed Morsi's plans to vote on a new constitution geared up for a day of street demonstrations.
Police cars surrounded the square, the first time they had appeared in the area since Nov. 23, the day after a decree by the president giving himself sweeping temporary powers touched off widespread protests.
The attackers also threw firebombs, which started a small fire, witnesses said. Many of the protesters, awakened by the noise, chanted: "The people want the downfall of the regime." Recorded recitations of the Quran were played over speakers in the square
