Al Jazeera's Malika Bilal, reporting from Cairo, has just sent in this update:

As anti-military protesters gathered for another day in Cairo's Tahrir Square, thousands of others rallied in the Cairo neighbourhood of Abbassiyah in support of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). 

Waving giant Egyptian flags and chanting slogans praising SCAF Head Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, the protesters filled every inch of free space under the Abbassiyah Bridge, some even lined up along its ramps despite the passing traffic.
"The army and the people are one hand," they yelled in unison, the sound of drums and car horns adding to the chorus of sounds.
"Where is Al Jazeera? The Egyptian people are here," others chanted into loud speakers, leading to raucous applause.
