Egyptian killed, two hurt by US warship
Unfortunate, but in a post-USS Cole world this is what happens.

ONE Egyptian was killed and two wounded when a US military ship about to cross the Suez Canal opened fire on barges of hawkers that approached their boat today, a security source said.

The ship, Global Patriot, was preparing to travel from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean when a group of Egyptians seeking to sell merchandise approached the boat on small barges, the source said.

Americans on board told the barges to stop and opened fire when they continued to approach.
