Egypt protests: War planes fly low over Cairo

Leading Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei has joined thousands of protesters in Cairo defying a curfew to demand President Mubarak stand down.

In a tense sixth day of protests, the army sent tanks into the Tahrir (Liberation) Square in Cairo only to see them blocked by demonstrators.

Air force jets and a helicopter repeatedly flew low over the square.
