Twenty people were killed Friday in Egypt and hundreds injured in clashes between protesters and police.

United States asked its allies to contain the Egyptian forces and start the "immediate" political reforms.
Mubarak, whose resignation is required by hundreds of thousands of demonstrators across the country, declared a curfew in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez and mobilized the army to contain a wave of popular protest violently suppressed. With 20 people on Friday amounted to 27 the number of people killed since Tuesday in the entire country because of popular revolt.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians responded to the call to participate in the "day of rage" to the outside mosques after Friday prayers to call for an end to the Mubarak regime, in power for 30 years. In Cairo, set fire to two police stations and the headquarters of the ruling party and stones clashed with security forces who used tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets to try to disperse them.
In Suez, protesters set fire patrol and seized weapons from a police station before it ablaze, witnesses said. One protester was killed during the incidents in that city on the Canal, according to those reports. Brawls and left eight dead and dozens injured. Nearly a thousand people had been arrested until Friday morning.
