Egyptian Police Kill Protester in Port Said, Injure Dozens Others

An Egyptian protester was killed in Port said when Egyptian police fired at protesters outside their headquarters, a doctor said on Friday.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Karim Sayid Abdel Aziz, 33, died of a bullet wound to the head, AFP quoted Dr. Mohammed Arnous, who treated him in a Port Said hospital, as saying.

“Abdel Aziz had been shot three times,” the Dr. added.

In parallel, a medic told AFP that 73 people were wounded in the clashes, including five people who suffered bullet wounds and 19 who were hit by birdshot.

Clashes on Thursday resumed after protesters marched on the police headquarters, which they had already set ablaze on Tuesday, chanting "the interior ministry are thugs," an AFP correspondent reported.

Police fired tear gas and then birdshot as soldiers, deployed in the city since late January, moved in to guard the police building.
