Egypt troops open fire on pro-Morsi marchers, kill 1

PanARMENIAN.Net - Egyptian security forces have opened fire on supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, killing at least one man.

The incident occurred as crowds gathered outside the officers' club of the Presidential Guard, where Morsi is believed to be held. The Muslim Brotherhood has been demanding his reinstatement. The army, which removed Morsi in response to widespread unrest, had deployed troops around Cairo.

The BBC's Jeremy Bowen at the scene says he saw the military open fire as a crowd surged towards them.

Shots were fired, first into the air, then into the crowds. One man in thirties with a beard fell to the ground, with blood on his clothes, BBC correspondent says.
