Several dead as Egypt protests turn violent

Two protesters have been shot dead as Muslim Brotherhood supporters clashed with police in Cairo and other Egyptian cities, medical and security sources said. Three people were killed in protests in Cairo on Friday. One protester was shot dead by police in Ismailia governate after joining a march following midday prayers, while another protester died after being shot in the head in the rural province of Fayoum, southwest of Cairo. The clashes took place less than two weeks before a vote on a new constitution, a milestone in the road map which the army-backed authorities say will pave the way for a return to a democratic rule by next summer.
