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.

(Reuters) - Egypt army plan.....

Egypt’s armed forces would suspend the constitution and dissolve an Islamist-dominated parliament under a draft political roadmap to be pursued if Islamist President Mohamed Mursi and his opponents fail to reach a power-sharing agreement by Wednesday, military sources said.

The roadmap could be changed based on political developments and consultations.

The sources said the military intended to install an interim council, ....composed mainly of civilians from different political groups... and experienced technocrats,... to run the country until an amended constitution was drafted within months.

.... followed by a new presidential election, but parliamentary polls would be delayed until ..”strict conditions for selecting candidates were in force”, they said.

The armed forces planned to open talks with the main opposition ‘National Salvation Front’ and other political, religious, and youth organizations, once a deadline set for Mursi to reach a power-sharing agreement expires on Wednesday.

The sources would not say how the military intended to deal with Mursi if he refused to go quietly.

The emerging roadmap could be amended as a result of those consultations, they said. Among figures being considered as an interim head of state was the new president of the constitutional court,... ‘Adli Mansour’.

The emerging army blueprint closely resembles proposals for a democratic transition put forward by the NSF,....

.... which appointed former U.N. nuclear watchdog.. “Mohamed ElBaradei”.. on Monday to negotiate with the military on the way forward.

The military sources said the new transition arrangements would be entirely different from the military rule that followed the overthrow of autocratic President Hosni Mubarak in a 2011 popular uprising.

Then, the armed forces’ council held effective power but was widely criticized by liberal and left-wing politicians for failing to enact vital economic and political reforms, and siding with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Thank you for the info.

It agrees exactly with the rebel demands outlined few days ago. The only thing that is “diplomatically” spelled out but included is that the military will:

1- remove and arrest Morsi and his Ikhwan big beards

2- dissolve and outflow ALL Islamist political parties and won’t allow them to be candidates in ANY elections

Conclusion: the military is 100% on the side of the rebels.

One more thing I will speculate on:

The military may “invade” Gaza and arrest Hamas personnel or even leadership who were responsible for atrocities in the Sinai (slaughtering 18 egyptian soldiers last Ramadan while eating their evening meal) and lately in Mokattam (4 Hamas snipers arrested for murdering 8 rebels.)

I knew the Egyptian Army was on the Siani Border.....hopefully this won’t seep into Gasa etc. then it puts Israel and bordering countries on high alert...but i suppose they are anyway with Syria also erupting.

There ya go, why do they let them leave?

Because.the military will put them back in jail. One year in power made the MB own private jets!

The Gaza incursion was my hopeful speculation, as I said.

Their holy war will be holy Shiite!

I hoped that they would. Now, the military, police and millions of citizens have the perfect excuse to slaughter the few hundred thousand killers and rid the WORLD of them for good.
