Here's what happened on April 09, 2011:

• Egyptian Army Crackdown on Tahrir Square Protesters On April 9, 2011, Egyptian military forces used force to disperse protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Hundreds of troops, firing into the air and attacking protesters with electric batons, swarmed the center of the square to expel several hundred people who had defied a 2 a.m. curfew following a massive but peaceful protest on Friday. Among those who had joined the overnight protesters in the tent camp were a dozen or more uniformed soldiers who had broken ranks to demand that Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces move faster to try Mubarak and members of his regime on corruption charges. As armored cars and troops swept in shortly after 3 a.m., the protesters, most of whom were young, initially tried to form a human chain to protect the rebellious soldiers in their camp. They scattered when the troops began firing their weapons into the air. Several eyewitnesses said the rebellious soldiers were taken away. The Reuters news service, citing hospital sources, said two people had been killed and 15 others injured by gunfire. Witnesses said an unknown number of people had been shot near a mosque where protesters sought refuge, but their accounts could not be immediately confirmed. As daylight returned to Tahrir Square, smoke billowed from three burning military vehicles, including troop carriers, while a tense standoff prevailed between soldiers and demonstrators in the streets surrounding the Square. By mid-afternoon, many more people had gathered at the square, climbing atop the blackened hulks of the military vehicles. source: washingtonpost.com

The offensive was repelled, resulting in the reported deaths of 18–30 opposition fighters. Additionally, a government-organized tour of international reporters in Misrata came under rebel sniper fire, wounding one military officer guiding the reporters. NATO forces reportedly destroyed 15 loyalist tanks and damaged nine more in and around Misrata over the previous two days, with five tanks destroyed by British planes. source: en.wikipedia.org
