Fresh Violent Clash Between Supporters Of Ousted President Morsi,military by riloxy(m): 4:45pm On Oct 04, 2013
Egyptian military vehicles fired live rounds at supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi near Cairo’s Tahrir Square Friday, as hundreds of angry protestors marched in cities across the country.

Reuters is reporting that at least one Muslim Brotherhood supporter was shot dead in the clashes between government forces and pro-Morsi demonstrators. Police and military authorities fired tear gas and blocked off entrances to Tahrir Square and other main streets with tanks and barbed wire, diverting traffic from the central plaza.

Bystanders threw rocks at the protesters, and many demonstrators hurled them back as tempers flared in the streets.

Islamist supporters planned the march, in defiance of a security crackdown on demonstrations. Egyptian authorities warned the Brotherhood that new demonstration camps would not be tolerated.

Clashes have broken out in several other Egyptian cities in addition to Cairo, according to Reuters, citing security and state media sources. More fighting occurred on a road leading to the pyramids in the suburb of Giza and in Alexandria and two cities in the Nile Delta.

Since the July 3 ouster of the Islamic president, the country's military-backed government has moved against the Brotherhood, banning the group, seizing its assets and arresting hundreds of its supporters.

Reuters and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
