Egyptian security and medical officials say an American has been killed in the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria during clashes between supporters and opponents of Egypt's embattled President Mohammed Morsi.
Alexandria security chief Gen. Amin Ezz Eddin told Al-Jazeera TV that an American was killed Friday in Sidi Gabr Square while photographing the battles between opposition youth and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails.
A medical official told The Associated Press the American was wounded by gunshots and died at the hospital.

Six Egyptians have been killed in days of clashes ahead of nationwide protests Sunday demanding Morsi's removal.

The State Department said Friday that Americans should defer nonessential travel to Egypt, citing the uncertain security situation. It also said it would allow nonessential staff and the families of personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to leave Egypt until conditions improve.

VIDEO: Morsi supporters wearing helmets and brandishing sticks
Since we have no free press here, Americans had better scoop them and force them to catch up!
Here’s the latest, summarized as best I could:
The leaders of the rebellion announced the following:
- a march from Manchiet el Bakry to Qubba Palace where (I guessed) Morsi is holed up. It started an hour ago, 10 PM, Cairo time. A sit-in will follow.
- a march to the Parliament and cabinet building followed by a sit-in.
- a march to every possible government building, federal and or local followed by a sit-in.
Later......
Looked at those hats and sticks and thought you’d posted a shot of Duck’s neighbors
“VIDEO: Morsi supporters wearing helmets and brandishing sticks”
Good! Their rah rah rah is for cameras!
I’ll be polite; martyr ‘em!!!!
...and the white hive!
Thanks for posting. That is truely a massive turnout. This thing is not going to end quietly.
McCain on the Egypt demonstrations (per FOX):
“I’m very concerned about it. I think all of us should be...But my focus right now, and concern really, is more on Syria that is now going from a civil war to a regional conflict.”
A huge mass of protesters descend of Egypts presidential palace
***********
We need to do the same thing here. Huge mass of protestors to descend on Washington DC.
Yep, courage.
Not Dan Rather’s, though!
Certainly sound like theyve handled themselves in a civilized orderly manner ..... While we sit on our hands intimidated by the IRS/government
********
Good post. Passive America.
They don’t have a chance with the crowd as it is....
Wish American-Egyptians would protest on the Mall by the millions against BO and Hillary and their support of the MB. Maybe that would get the press attention.
Looks to me like Egypt is showing us how to do this....I do think somethings got to be done before O finishes his term....
The purpose of the IRS and other intimidation is to make us helpless and hopeless. Looks like its working thus far!
