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.

(Is the Egyptian Tea Party there?)
Seems like more than enough time for Morsi to set up the tanks, mines, barbed wire, and drone/AC-130 attacks (as advised by Kerry, Hytlery, and Oblahblah as per their "defense plan" for repelling the US Tea Party in DC.)
Okay. I’ll ask them also.
I know McBain is...but I never believe anything he says....I blame him so much for Obama being in office...he never even tried to win...just pandered to Obama....I have never forgiven him for that...never will.

A list of Hospitals refusing to treat the injured (some of them died) needs to be made. Managers brought to justice. #Egypt #June30
Thanks for the threads kristinn ..this is historic. What has really startled me is the demonstrations across the world in support of the anti-Morsi Egyptians.
Not to cover the crime, is a crime, ye Petrohawwa for places drumming and Zath ups
Youm7 reporter to OnTV: #Gharbeya crowds surrounded the governor and gave him 1hr to leave the governate. He fled from the back door. #Egypt
‘Unspeakably horrifying’: BBC, tweeters report numerous sexual assaults in Cairo’s Tahrir Square
Also FYI, see post 209 for the last Twitchy report :‘Wake up America’: Egyptian protesters continue to slam Obama [pics].
It's startling because the media actively seek to keep information from us if it might have a negative impact on Zero's image.
Additionally other nation leaders are of course monitoring things as well as likely in contact with Morsi.
Obama has three ships loaded with Marines in the Red Sea in case things get out of hand...I can only hope those are just for “show” and will not get our guys involved in this.....none of our business anymore than Syria....but of course Obama wants his say in everything at all the worng times.
Thouworm...I am not nuts about BBC REporting...they have been found to outright distort facts and create their own stories from nothing....not sure about their tweeters either....just saying.
Looks like the people aren’t wasn’t any time telling these guys to get out of dodge...(their house).
Here’s a clip of interest....They’re all going to try and quell the storm before it breaks...
The leader of Egypt’s Islamist Nour party, Younis Makhyoun, presented himself on Sunday as a mediator with protesters and urged Morsi to make concessions to avert bloodshed on the streets. “There must be concessions, even if they are difficult and bitter, to safeguard the blood of Egyptians,” Makhyoun said. “We are worried about an escalation that will be hard to control, and that guns will have the loudest voice.”
Mmm, mmm, mmmmm... where is a ‘civilian force’ when you need one.

There was no sign of police or fire service protection for the Brotherhood’s head office, where witnesses said guards inside the building fired on the attackers. Two people died and 11 were injured in that clash, hospital sources said.

That put the spotlight on the army, which displayed its neutrality on Sunday, making goodwill gestures to the protesters after urging feuding politicians last week to cooperate to solve the nation’s problems.
Some uniformed policemen marched among protesters in Cairo and Alexandria, chanting “the police and the people are one”, and several senior officers addressed the Tahrir Square crowd.
That cast doubt on whether Mursi could rely on the security forces to clear the streets if he gave the order.
LOL!
The Ikhwan are cowards! Morsi’s boss, the Valerie Jarrett of Egypt, is on the run unless he is going to die in his burning office in Mokattam!
I'm afraid creating maximum chaos, doing exactly the wrong thing ALL the time, and bad timing is of course Oblablah's mission -- especially given his history. Considering his Nero-like narcissism, loyalty to the Muzzie Bro-hood, and readiness to sacrificing US resources, assets, and prestige in defense of Islam and its Sharia Law, we can expect...the worse-case scenario.
LOLOLOLOLOL!
I just posted USS that the Ikhwan are cowards! It’s a great sign that the governor, the commander of police couldn’t order them to protect him OR they simply won’t!

Meanwhile, are we nearing a Tienanmen Square moment in Turkey?"

I read that Mosi has given the military the same authority as the police for this demonstration...so they can step in a so called NON-Military way.

Word on the Egyptian streest is they all are saying Obama supports terroism.
Photo signs dupicated as this one throughout Egypt....
