1:00PM Cairo: The army has created a buffer-zone separating the pro-Mubarak anti-protesters north of the Tahrir Square, which is still under control of the anti-government demonstrators. People in the city are trying to get food, water, and medicine to the protesters, but anti-protester thugs are attempting to blockade the side-streets and are intimidating or attacking anyone coming too close to the square, clearly attempting to create a seige.
Some of the anti-protesters caught by the anti-government protesters confessed to working for the security forces, who promised to pay each thug the equivalent to $1000US as reward, if pro-Mubarak forces could re-capture Tahrir Square.
Both anti-government and pro-Mubarak camps are trying to bus in as many people as they can into Cairo from the hinterlands.
