More than 1,000 defy Egypt army order to quit square

CAIRO - More than 1,000 protesters ignored an army order to leave Cairo's main square on Sunday, taking their calls for a quick move to civilian rule and a deeper purge of corrupt officials into a third day.
Barbed wire blocked roads into Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the protests that toppled President Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11.
Protesters cried "revolution, revolution" and brandished an effigy of Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who heads the military council now ruling Egypt and is also defense minister.
