Four killed in clashes with police in Egypt
2014-01-04
Four people were shot dead as supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood clashed with police in Cairo and in cities across Egypt on Friday, defying an ever-widening state crackdown on the movement.

A male protester and a woman were shot dead during clashes between pro-Brotherhood demonstrators and police in the coastal city of Alexandria, medical and security sources said. There were conflicting reports as to whether the woman was a protester or an onlooker.

Another demonstrator was shot dead by police in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia after a march set off from a mosque after prayers, medical sources said.

In the rural province of Fayoum, southwest of Cairo, a protester died from a bullet wound to the head, local Health Ministry official Medhat Shukri said.
