Six dead as Egypt police clash with protesters

At least six people were killed on Friday in clashes between pro-Islamist protesters and Egyptian police in Cairo, the health ministry said. Supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Mursi had held small marches after the morning prayers for Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Police officials said the protesters attacked security forces stationed in Cairo’s Talbiya district near the Giza pyramids. The health ministry did not give a breakdown of those killed. Al Arabiya
