Pro- and Anti-Mursi protesters clash in Egypt

Clashes broke out in central Cairo on August 13, 2013 when supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi came under attack as they marched to the Interior Ministry, a Reuters reporter said. Supporters of the new military-installed government hurled stones at the marchers and threw bottles at them from balconies. Police then fired tear gas at the pro-Mursi protesters. Egyptian security forces killed at least 30 people on August 14 when they cleared a camp of Cairo protesters who were demanding the reinstatement of deposed President Mohamed Mursi.
