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.

Yes, it thinned out some from earlier but it stayed very large, it looks to be picking back up again. It is amazing!

Assiut
Assiut is the largest town in Upper Egypt and lies about 234 miles south of Cairo. It is an old city which was first settled in pharaonic times, then the capital of the Thirteenth Nome of Upper Egypt and named Syut. Later, the Greeks renamed it Lycopolis which means ‘city of the wolf’. This was due to the importance of the Jackal gods Wepwawet (Opener of Ways) and Anubis. Although the city was of considerable strategic value in its position between Upper and Lower Egypt, it somehow managed to stay clear of national importance as a capital.
Today Assiut is the capital of the Said (Upper Egypt) governorate, has a large Christian community and is the region’s most important agricultural center, dealing in cotton and grain. It also has some carpet manufacturing industry. It is also the home of the third largest university in Egypt
Sorry if this happens...truly praying it won’t...but it is Egypt and these are Muslims for the most part..sooooo it’s to be expected.
May be Egypt’s population is saying...No to Islam Sahria rule in their country.....
Prophetically they eventually are in God’s good graces....but will be taking a terrible fall throughout the country first...much suffering ahead at some point. Even if this demonstration runs favorable to them...the issue of the Nile will come into play....as is already.
Ok...good , so much appretiate that...
Ok...going to go look some more and see what’s happening...be back soon....with posts no doubt...

“Tamarod” has released a statement demanding President Mohammed Morsi step down by Tuesday at 5pm.
.... also called on “police, army and judiciary” to support the people’s will.
If Morsi fails to resign by Tuesday, civil disobedience will continue throughout the country.
