<p>Another bout of heavy gunfire and clashes have erupted in the Cairo square at the centre of Egypt&#8217;s anti-government chaos.</p>
<p>New looting and arson spread around the capital as gangs of thugs supporting President Hosni Mubarak attacked reporters, foreigners and human rights workers, and the army rounded up foreign journalists.</p>
<p>Gunfire rang out in central Tahrir Square, where Mr Mubarak&#8217;s supporters and opponents have been fighting for more than 24 hours.</p>
<p>At least eight people have been killed since the clashes erupted on Wednesday afternoon.</p>
<p>Security officials said a fire is raging in a major supermarket outside Sheikh Zayed, a suburb of the capital, and looters are ransacking the building. Another building much closer to the square and next to a five-star hotel tower overlooking the Nile River is also on fire.</p>
<p>The officials said other fires had erupted in the Cairo district of Shubra, north of the centre. The violence came despite attempts by the Army to separate the two sides.</p>
<p>Earlier, Egypt&#8217;s prime minister apologised for an attack by government supporters on protesters in a surprising show of contrition.</p>
<p>The government offered more concessions to try to calm the wave of demonstrations demanding the president&#8217;s removal. Vice-president Omar Suleiman promised that Mr Mubarak&#8217;s son, Gamal, will not seek to succeed his father in presidential elections in September, state TV said.</p>
<p>Also, the prosecutor-general banned travel and froze the bank accounts for the former interior minister whose police led a bloody crackdown against the protesters last week and against two other former ministers who were among the unpopular millionaire businessmen wielding heavy influence in the previous government.</p>
<p>The anti-Mubarak movement has vowed to intensify protests to force the president out by Friday.</p>
