Witnesses said the overnight disturbances, which left around 50 people injured, were some of the most violent in months in the square, which was the focal point of protests that forced veteran President Hosni Mubarak from power in February.
Activists called for an open-ended sit-in in Tahrir Square. Egypt's ruling military council warned of a plot to destabilise the country.
The April 6 Movement, one of several behind calls for a popular uprising, urged "all Egyptians to head to Tahrir Square."
It said a protest to push for democratic reforms that was scheduled for July 8 "will begin today and a sit-in will carry on until there are clear signs that the demands are met."
But the army called on protesters not to give in to "schemes" aimed at sowing chaos.
 A senior official says more than 1,000 people have been hurt in Cairo after two days of clashes between police and protesters over demands that the country's military rulers speed up the prosecution of police officers accused of killing protesters early this year. The violence began Tuesday night in Cairo and was continuing on Wednesday with riot police firing in the air and using tear gas to disperse the protesters, who pelted them with rocks and firebombs. The violence was reminiscent of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak earlier this year.The regrettableincidents in Tahrir Square ... are designed to destabilise the country and pit the revolutionaries against the police," the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said in a statement.
The clashes "have no reason behind them except to destabilise Egypt's security and stability in accordance with a carefully thought out and organised scheme," SCAF said.
The interior ministry blamed families of victims killed in the uprising saying some of them stormed a theatre where a memorial service was being held for those who died.
A security official said that clashes erupted and the families were then joined by hundreds of protesters who began to throw rocks before heading to Tahrir Square.
But activists said police beat the families who had been barred from joining the service.
"After being denied entry ... clashes erupted between protesters and security guards at the theatre. The police showed up and started beating the families of martyrs," pro-democracy activist Arabawy wrote on his blog.
Nearly 850 people were killed during the popular revolt that brought an end to Mubarak's 30-year rule.
Witnesses said that buses unloaded young men armed with sticks and knives, and accused loyalists of the old regime of stirring up the trouble.
After protests erupted against Mubarak's rule on January 25, the authorities deploying hired thugs in a bid to quell the unrest.
Tuesday's clashes broke out just hours after a Cairo court ordered the dissolution of municipal councils across the country, all of which were dominated by members of Mubarak's now disbanded National Democratic Party.
"I don't think the timing of these clashes is a coincidence," one witness told satellite channel ON TV.
"It came just after the dissolution of the local councils, a decision which I'm sure will make many people (from the old regime) very angry," the witness in Tahrir Square said.
Television footage showed protesters chanting: "the people demand the fall of the Field Marshal," referring to Hussein Tantawi, the head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took power when Mubarak stepped down.
Protesters who first took to the streets to demand the overthrow of Mubarak, have begun to shift their anger to the ruling military council, accusing it of using Mubarak-era tactics to stifle dissent.

كشفت صحيفة "الديلى تليجراف" البريطانية النقاب عن السبب الحقيقى وراء الاشتباكات التى اندلعت الثلاثاء الماضى
فى ميدان التحرير وأعادت ذكريات ثورة يناير، مشيرة إلى أنه قرار حل المحليات، خاصة أنها كانت الورقة الأخيرة فى أيدى النظام السابق للسيطرة على البلاد من جديد من خلال نفوذهم بهذه المؤسسة التى تحتك بالمواطنين الفقراء.
ونقلت الصحيفة عن محللين، قولهم: "إن الاشتباكات التى حولت التحرير لساحة حرب من جديد جاءت بعد ساعات فقط من قرار محكمة بالقاهرة حل المجالس البلدية فى جميع أنحاء البلاد، والتى كانت يهيمن عليها أفراد من حزب مبارك الوطنى الديمقراطى المنحل".
وقال أحد شهود العيان: "أنا لا أعتقد أن توقيت هذه الاشتباكات مصادفة.. إنه جاء فقط بعد حل المجالس المحلية.. وهو القرار الذى أنا متأكد أنه سوف يجعل الكثير من الناس (من النظام القديم) غاضباً جداً".
وأظهرت لقطات تليفزيونية محتجين رددوا شعارات فاقت التوقعات من بينها: "الشعب يريد إسقاط المشير"، فى إشارة إلى حسين طنطاوى، رئيس المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة والذى تولى السلطة عندما تنحى الرئيس مبارك.
وبدأ المتظاهرون الذين تدفقوا أولاً إلى الشوارع للمطالبة بالإطاحة مبارك بتحويل غضبهم إلى المجلس العسكرى الحاكم، متهمين إياها باستخدام تكتيكات عهد مبارك لخنق المعارضة.
ومن جانبه، حث الجيش المحتجين على عدم الاستسلام إلى "المخططات" التى تهدف إلى زرع الفوضى، وقال: إن "الحوادث المؤسفة فى ميدان التحرير.. دليل قاطع على رغبة البعض فى زعزعة استقرار البلاد الوقيعة بين الثوار والشرطة".
وأضاف الجيش فى بيان نشر على الإنترنت: "لا يوجد سبب وراءها (الاشتباكات) إلا زعزعة أمن مصر واستقرارها"، وقتل نحو 850 شخصاً خلال الثورة الشعبية التى وضعت حداً لحكم مستمر منذ 30 عاماً، وقال شهود عيان إن حافلات كانت تفرغ شبان مسلحين بالعصى والسكاكين، واتهموا الموالين للنظام القديم بإثارة المتاعب.
