Egypt’s army opened Tahrir Square to traffic on Tuesday after it had been closed for four days in a row, reported the state-owned news agency.

On Friday, the army forces deployed their tanks on the entrances leading to Cairo's popular Tahrir Square to secure it against possible attacks.

Earlier today, the military vehicles opened up all entrances to the square and removed all barbed wires set-up around it.

Meanwhile, around 25 tanks are still stationed at the square's entrance from the Egyptian Museum's side, to be ready for confronting any rallies headed to Tahrir by the Muslim Brotherhood.
