</a>Reports say Egyptian armed forces have stationed a large column of
tanks and mechanized infantry vehicles in and around Cairo's Liberation
Square. <br><br>
<br>
It comes as thousands of protesters are camping outside the parliament as
part of their campaign to topple President Hosni Mubarak. <br><br>
Pro-democracy protesters have also attempted to block the parliament
building. <br><br>
Opposition parties plan a massive march towards the Presidential Palace
on Friday. <br><br>
Egyptian opposition leaders say the revolution will expand and Mubarak's
regime has to go. <br><br>
Opposition leader Ayman Nour has told press TV that the Egyptian
revolution will go on until it topples Mubarak and his associates.
<br><br>
Tensions are running high across the country as protests continue for the
16th straight day. <br><br>
Hundreds of people have been killed or wounded in two days of clashes
between police and demonstrators in the southern Kharga city. <br><br>
Reports also say hundreds of plain clothes police and vigilantes have
stepped up their crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in various parts
of Egypt. <br><br>
Vigilantes loyal to Mubarak were targeting pro-democracy rallies,
especially in remote areas, where human rights organizations are not
active, Press TV correspondent in Cairo reported on Wednesday. <br><br>
The violent crackdown on anti-Mubarak protests has claimed the lives of
more than 300 people since protests began 16 days ago. <br><br>
