National fact-finding committee: Police deliberately fired on demonstrators

A national fact-finding committee mandated with investigating police violence during Egypt's recent 18-day-long uprising said on Tuesday that police had deliberately opened fire on anti-government demonstrators, both with rubber bullets and live ammunition.

The committee also said that police armored vehicles had deliberately run over demonstrators in the streets of the capital during the demonstrations.
 
The committee further said there were "indications" about those who directed camel-mounted pro-government thugs to assault demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square on 2 February.
