July 06, 2013

At least 10 people were killed and more than 210 injured Friday as gunfire and running battles erupted at several locations in Cairo during a day of protests called by Islamists angered by the military ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.

The bloodiest confrontation came as troops opened fire on protesters outside the Republican Guards military barracks where the ousted president is being held. An Egyptian health ministry official confirmed the casualty figures to the Associated Press.
