Clashes have erupted in two cities in northern Egypt, the latest demonstrations held against Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Mursi.
Hundreds of unidentified assailants threw stones and fire bombs today at protesters rallying against Mursi’s Muslim
Brotherhood in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
Separately, protesters and riot police clashed after demonstrators tried to torch a Muslim Brotherhood office in
the Nile Delta city of Zagazig.
The protests are part of a nationwide call to rally against what the protesters claim are unfair actions that
Mursi has taken against the opposition.
On Monday, Egypt’s prosecutor general issued arrest warrants for five of Egypt’s most prominent democracy
advocates and activists over allegations that they instigated violence last week near the Brotherhood’s headquarters in Cairo where nearly 200 people were injured.
