CAIRO, Dec 7 (Reuters) – Egyptian protesters broke through a

barbed wire barricade keeping them from the presidential palace

in Cairo on Friday and some climbed onto army tanks and waved

flags.

Up to 10,000 protesters had been penned behind the barrier,

guarded by tanks that were deployed on Thursday after a night of

violence between supporters and opponents of the Islamist

president, Mohamed Mursi, in which seven people were killed.
