11 Killed in Egypt Clashes

HeadlineMay 02, 2012

At least 11 people have reportedly been killed and dozens more wounded in Egypt today in clashes between protesters and unidentified attackers outside the Defense Ministry in Cairo. Many of the protesters were supporters of the ultra-conservative Islamist candidate Hazem Salah Abu Ismail who was ejected from the presidential race because his mother has dual Egyptian-U.S. citizenship. The clashes lasted for several hours with reports of gunfire as well as clubs and firebombs being used. Egypt’s elections are scheduled for later this month.
