Troops in riot gear patrol Cairo as demonstrators plan mass protests - CNN.com: "Demonstrators have built a barbed-wire barricade and stacked piles of rocks throughout Cairo's Tahrir Square, where a large number of protesters had already gathered Friday morning to demand President Hosni Mubarak's resignation.
Military forces surrounded the square, and anti-government protesters manned their own security checkpoints, which included numerous blockades.
Troops wearing riot gear toted automatic weapons near the area. Security forces detained some people leaving the square, pointing guns at them and forcing them to lie on the ground. Others blocked the nearby October 6 bridge.
Anti-government protesters have pledged to bring droves of demonstrators to the square Friday for what they dubbed a 'Day of Farewell' and 'Day of Departure.'"
