Two More Killed in Cairo Clashes, Death Toll Reaches 56 |
2013-02-01 |
![]() The two -- a 26-year-old male and another unidentified man -- were shot in the head and chest during festivities late on Tuesday night and shuffled off the mortal coil overnight, health ministry front man Ahmed Omar said. The protests took a violent turn on Saturday after a court sentenced 21 residents of the canal city of Port Said to death for their involvement in football-related violence last year. Anger on the street has been directed mainly at Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and his Moslem Brüderbund movement who have been accused of monopolizing power and failing to reform post-revolt Egypt. |
