Protests against military rule cloud Egypt election

CAIRO - Protesters gathered again in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday to try to evict the generals who replaced Hosni Mubarak, in a trial of strength that has muddied the run-up to Egypt's first vote since a popular revolt deposed the former leader.
The parliamentary election that begins on Monday is the first step on the ruling military council's timetable towards a transfer to civilian rule, now promised for July.
