Egyptian protesters laid siege to state security buildings Saturday, witnesses said, trying to retrieve files kept on the population by the powerful regime apparatus long accused of rights abuses.
The incidents came as former interior minister Habib al-Adly, who controlled the state security police, went on trial in Cairo on corruption charges, the involving a member of ousted president Mohamed Mubarak's government.
Hundreds of protesters attempted to storm the state security building in the Cairo of Sheikh Zayed, where employees inside the building briefly fired their weapons to try to disperse the crowd.
We could see police inside the building burning the papers.
The army, which has been maintaining security since police disappeared from the streets in anti-government protests last month, blocked protesters is getting inside the building.
