Egyptian Protester Killed in Anti-Military Protest 
---------------------------------------------------


 
An Egyptian demonstrator was killed on Saturday in a protest calling for
the departure of Egypt's ruling military council. Clashes erupted
outside Egypt's defense ministry after unidentified military supporters
rushed the crowd. A demonstrator said the protest had been peaceful
until it was attacked.

Protester: "We are here staging a peaceful sit-in, continuing our
revolution, conveying our demands. Unfortunately, we saw the thugs that
the military let loose on us, who attacked people and gave people very
grave injuries. There has been news of deaths but we will continue and
they will not terrorize us. This is a new battle which we will continue
and if they don't respond we will escalate our efforts."
