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.

It looks like the lasers are coming from the ground. Probably trying to blind or disrupt the pilot. They might stop though if one crashes into the crowd below.

Thanks a lot.
Ok got “HE”...well I hope someone can link these or something...I’m staying put here..the other thread isn’t hardly moving...
Amazing Egypt’s not sleeping tonight....
Im 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.
Okay. But why not let your best bud, Mr. Vietnam, former Senator and now Secretary of State, John Effin Kerry, worry about that for ya, Stain? Surely you're worn out sucking up to your other slimy pal, Chuckie Schumer, during the "debate" over immigration "reform".
What a bunch of pustules these politicians are. They don't want to acknowledge that the Islamic dictator in Egypt got where he is with the help of Obama. So, sssshhh, little reporters! Don't ask him to comment on it. Let him deflect the attention to Syria.

RT @kristenchick Friend in Assiut says the families there, who are armed, will likely retaliate against MB tomorrow #june30 #egypt
Thanks ...good to know the time there...crowd is still pretty large...but there are some unfortunate happenings..and expected...goons always come out in the witching hour...and thugs usually don’t want their faces seen...including those supporting Morsi...haven’t seen much in video or photos of their group.
