Egypt police, protesters clash at Cairo university

None

Egyptian anti-riot police fired tear gas Sunday at hundreds of supporters of the country's ousted Islamist president, besieging them inside a prestigious Muslim institution after stone-hurling protesters cut off a main road.

 

Sunday's clashes marked the second day of unrest at Al-Azhar University, Sunni Islam's most prominent center of learning. Many supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood are students at Al-Azhar, a stronghold of the group. (AP)
