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.

Right, that is why you are buying up our news media....because you do not interfere in our business.
Data mining on them has paid off for the dems.
Just heard:
Morsi COULD BE UNDER HOUSE ARREST. The anchor on OWN TV channel isn’t sure where because Morsi is NOT in Qubba Palce.
Also a lot of fighting between the rebels and the Ikhwan in many parts of Alexandria. Shotguns and other weapons are used.
Yesterday, 4 HAMAS SNIPERS and one Egyptian MB were arrested in Mokattam for murdering 8rebels and injuring scores.
Prayers for your complete and speedy recovery.

For Immediate Release July 02, 2013
Readout of the President’s call with President Morsy of Egypt
President Obama called President Morsy on Monday, July 1, to convey his concerns about recent developments in Egypt. The President told President Morsy that the United States is committed to the democratic process in Egypt and does not support any single party or group. He stressed that democracy is about more than elections; it is also about ensuring that the voices of all Egyptians are heard and represented by their government, including the many Egyptians demonstrating throughout the country. President Obama encouraged President Morsy to take steps to show that he is responsive to their concerns, and underscored that the current crisis can only be resolved through a political process. As he has said since the revolution, President Obama reiterated that only Egyptians can make the decisions that will determine their future
President Obama also underscored his deep concern about violence during the demonstrations, especially sexual assaults against female citizens. He reiterated his belief that all Egyptians protesting should express themselves peacefully, and urged President Morsy to make clear to his supporters that all forms of violence are unacceptable. Finally, the President noted that he is committed to the safety of U.S. diplomats and citizens in Egypt and stressed his expectation that the Government of Egypt continue to protect U.S. diplomatic personnel and facilities.
Thank you for the pics and congrats for posting them.
Signed: chief hermit!
BTW, is this still the live thread?
Chief Hermit, lol
I don’t know if it’s still the live thread...but until otherwise directed it’s ‘the Historical Thread’ IMO. So much informationa and photos here...
Unless they link a newer thread to this?
I am ‘loving’ that I can post these photos so FR can have this moment in History on record.....as well as the posters posting.
Alas have to go to work soon, but until then will be looking for good shots....
<...”Morsi COULD BE UNDER HOUSE ARREST. The anchor on OWN TV channel isn’t sure where because Morsi is NOT in Qubba Palce”....>
Anything confirmed on that yet?
So is this the “Arab Street” we hear so much about?
Haven’t seen anything yet on this thread concerning SE mom....I suspect we’ll hear as soon as someone knows.
More correctly, these are “the people”
The people are reacting to the opression of the Brotherhood.
In my view, they are the real Islam that most here don’t think actually exists.
BREAKING: Reports from Egypt that the army chief has asked pres. Morsi to resign “to prevent bloodshed”.
Not yet. I’m far away from home with an iPad.
At home, I could listen and post with the extra laptop.
Now I’ll go listen and see what’s happening.
Later...
