Anti-government protesters attacked the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo after dark Sunday, as part of the largest demonstrations that Egypt has seen in two-and-a-half years of turmoil.

In a potentially volatile confrontation after nightfall, several dozen youths attacked the Muslim Brotherhood's headquarters on a plateau overlooking the capital. They threw rocks and firebombs at the walled villa, and people inside fired at the attackers with birdshot, according to an Associated Press Television News cameraman at the scene.

Southern Egypt saw deadly attacks on anti-Morsi protests. A protester was shot to death in Beni Suef outside the offices of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party. Gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a protest, killing one person and wounding four others in the city of Assiut.

The enraged protesters then marched on the nearby local Freedom and Justice offices, where gunmen inside opened fire, killing two more, security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk to the press. Clashes erupted with protesters and security forces fighting side by side against Morsi's supporters.

Our MSM see and hear no evil but speak plenty of evil of the opposition when it comes to reporting about Obama.

They’re not much different from our Congresscretins and Senators.

If Obama wants to help the people of Africa, he should start with Egypt by offering his friend Mohamed Morsi a professorship at Berkeley if he will just LEAVE Egypt now and end the protests which are threatening to turn into a deadly civil war.

Egypt is not friendly turf for Islamic radicals. Good for them.

I would imagine that a large number of Egyptians made their living from tourism, either directly or indirectly. Tourism is dead now, and they can blame the MB.

They can torch MB offices, but I won't consider them really serious until they start going after the radical clerics.
