                  Clashes Erupt in Egypt After Friday Prayers

   Clashes erupted after Friday prayers in Egypt as thousands of
   supporters of the nation`s ousted president attempted to demonstrate
   against the military government that deposed him.
   The Reuters news agency reported that one protester died of a gunshot
   wound in central Cairo after marchers clashed with Egyptian security
   forces.
   Despite a weeks-long security crackdown and hundreds of arrests of
   Muslim Brotherhood backers of ex-President Mohamed Morsi, demonstrators
   Friday seemed determined to take to the streets in Cairo and several
   Egyptians cities.
   A strong military presence was evident to try to stop people from
   converging on Tahrir Square, a focal point in the last three years of
   dissent and demands for political and social change. Police fired tear
   gas on protesters as they approached the square on Friday.
   Egypt`s interim military regime says the crackdown against protests is
   a defense against "terrorism."
