Protester Shot Dead In Alexandria Clashes

Violent clashes in the Egyptian city of Alexandria have left one man dead and more than 70 people injured.

A health ministry official said the man was killed by gunfire on Friday during clashes between supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Mursi.

It was unclear whether the victim was a supporter. He died near the Muslim Brotherhood's local offices in the city's Sidi Gaber neighbourhood.

State news agency MENA said 70 people had been injured.

TV Footage showed protesters running from the scene as gunshots were heard.

The offices of the Freedom and Justice Party, the political arm of Mr Morsi's party, were also set on fire during the confrontations.

At least four people have died since Wednesday in clashes in the Nile Delta - three in the city of Mansura and one in Zagazig - medics said.

The unrest is seen by many as a prelude to mass anti-Morsi protests planned for Sunday - marking a his first year in office.

The June 30 protest was called by Tamarod, a grassroots movement which says it has more than 15 million signatures for a petition demanding Mr Morsi's resignation and a snap election.

It alleges that Mr Morsi reneged on his promise to be a president for all Egyptians and has failed to deliver on the uprising's aspirations for freedom and social justice.

The president himself warned in a televised speech on Wednesday that the growing polarisation threatens to "paralyse" Egypt.

The army, which oversaw the transition from former president Mubarak's autocratic rule but has been on the sidelines since Morsi's election, warned it would intervene if violence erupts.

It has brought in reinforcements to key cities, security officials said.
