Egypt protests continue

Attempts to return Egypt to normality after two weeks of deadly anti-government protests have suffered a number of setbacks.



Talks yesterday between the Egyptian government and opposition groups on tackling the country's political crisis failed to end the protests.



Officials say while banks have reopened, schools and the stock exchange remain closed and protestors have prevented an important government building from opening by protesters.



The protestors, who are occupying Tahrir Square in Cairo, have said they will leave only when President Hosni Mubarak steps down.



Meanwhile, one Egyptian security officer was injured when four rocket-propelled grenades were fired at a security forces barracks in Rafah on the Gaza Strip border.



Officials say it was not immediately clear who was behind this morning's attack, which Egyptian state television blamed on extremist groups aiming to undermine security.
