June 29, 2013 17:10

Warning its citizens against travelling to Egypt, the US today said its non-emergency diplomatic staff could leave the country, after an American freelance photographer was killed during protests against President Mohamed Mursi a year after his election.

"The department of state authorised the departure of a limited number of non-emergency employees and family members," it said in the updated warning.

It cautioned US citizens "to defer non-essential travel to Egypt at this time due to the continuing possibility of political and social unrest."
