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.

Egypt’s gone global...except in the U.S......media won’t show it as Obama is so trashed there.
Here’s other nations in solidarity to Egypt today...

Oh...now they think there’s something to report...the whole world was reporting....all day!... And just now they have their spin getting ready?
How ARE they going to do this without Obamas posters and banners being seen? They are everywhere saying he supports terrorism...and those of the US Ambassador as well...
Actually I’ve been at this since last night....they’ve been at it for a couple days ..in the streets etc...but the official date to rise was today.
Tomoorw will also be interesting....
“Now the scramble begins ..how to report ..how to spin.”
They beat me to it! I posted that they’ll have to start covering for their boy, TOMORROW!
Ratings’ starvation I guess.
You'd think that'd be fairly newsworthy. . .

“The leader of Egypts Islamist Nour party”
Nope! You and your Islamists will see your maker first! You and your allies unleashed the peaceful Egyptian people to rebel against your abuse and, yes, YOUR RELIGION!
It’s been reported 17 to 30 million ....across Egypt...but then I would suspect 30 million might include worlwide....
I knew this was huge last night as I followed it....they were going to poor into the streets.
But again the banners that make Obama look so very bad...well the news here just wouldn’t report becuase they are still protecting him... ...it was fascinating to watch...
I honestly think the Egyptians are rebelling against Islam...at least the political part of it they don’t want. Not sure how they can seperate the two though...
..Maybe better to say these Muslims are rather like the Catholic by name only that are in America. ..but have no intentions of practicing it actually.
Perhaps there are more like that in Egypt now...but I have to say...the Brotherhood has a huge foothold in the nation...they aren’t going to go away even if Morsi falls....they want Egypt and the Billions of dollars flooding in there.
You are doing an amazing job here! I did read some of your stuff yesterday before running out to a graduation party, and because of you, I was able to tell folks what was unfolding.
The photos are jaw dropping.
Yes it’s history, my issue is simply exhaustion from so much history being made in the last 5 years, none of it good!
I pray this one turns the corner for something positive.

Even many handicapped went to the streets today...I’ve noted many pictures along the way as well as elderly....this photo was only one.

In a sane world, the answer would be MILLIONS!
Can you believe this? It’s incredible.
So few of Morsi’s people on the streets..but this one I found and makes a statement!

Just so surreal isn’t it?
I am going to stay awake as long as I can hold out,
then check in the morning.
Keep up the awesome job you are doing!
We’re all trying to keep you guys posted on how this thing is panning out...it’s pretty outstanding to say the least..but thank you for your comment.
As said this is not only Historic but also has Prophetic ‘leanings’. I’m not one to go off in left field on those things, but I do study it enough to know this is significant....as was when they took out Mabarack...for Egypt is a player. They will have a rough road along the way...if or not thru this only time will tell, but I have a hunch the Brotherhood isn’t going to let loose of their grip easily....and even when they do...the road isn’t going to be easier for Egypt...they will go down terribly at some point....though restored later on.
So it’s interesting being in this moment of History to say the least.
That's awesome!
How’s that Arab S[ring working out for you, Hussein?
Your passion for this moment in history comes through in your posts! I do see the implications of this moment as well.
There are days I just wish life would come to a slower pace, to catch up on ALL that has been unfolding before our eyes!
