The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has ordered the arrest of business tycoon Ibrahim ‎Kamel, one of the National Democratic Party (NDP) strong men. He is accused of being involved in ‎instigating violent clashes between demonstrators and army forces late on Friday. ‎

Hundreds of Egyptians defied soldiers who tried to disperse them overnight from Tahrir ‎Square and vowed Saturday to keep protesting until ex-President Hosni Mubarak is tried ‎and other demands met.‎

Some demonstrators, angry at the army's use of tasers and batons to try to drive them out ‎of Tahrir, hurled rocks at a burning army bus and truck. Gunshots echoed around the ‎square during the night as the army sought to clear the area, Reuters reported.

After a protest by hundreds of thousands of Egyptians on Friday, the army ‎surrounded the square after curfew, set from 2am to 5am, to push out those who ‎remained.‎

Kamel, one of ousted president HosniMubarak's inner clique, is indicted on charges of premeditated thuggery. He is ‎believed to have hired thugs to wreak ‎havoc in the country so as to create a climate of fear and chaos.

The ruling military council also announced that Kamel’s followers, Wael Aboul-Leil, Tarek Soliman and Khaled Mohamed Ismail are wanted.According to the statement, all three men were in Tahrir Square during curfew in the early ‎hours of Saturday, having bullied and terrorised civilians. ‎

The military council underlined that their forces will work resolutely to prevent NDP remnants from threatening national security.

Ibrahim Kamel's name was implicated in the so-called "battle of the camel", on 28 January, in which waves of NDP related thugs were hurled at the pro-democracy protesters in Tahrir square, using molotov cocktail bombs, live ammunition and rocks. It also included the famous attack by camel and horse-back hooligans wielding swords and cudgles. ‎
