BBC News - Egypt unrest: PM apologises for Tahrir Square violence

BBC News - Egypt unrest: PM apologises for Tahrir Square violence:

"Egypt's Health Minister Ahmed Samih Farid said earlier that five people had died in the fighting, which began on Wednesday, and 836 were injured - mostly as the result of stone throwing and attacks with metal rods and sticks.

'This is a fatal error,' Mr Shafiq told the privately-owned al-Hayat television. 'When investigations reveal who is behind this crime and who allowed it to happen, I promise they will be held accountable and will be punished for what they did.'"
