Description:
Egyptian security forces have once again clashed with supporters of ousted president Mohammad Morsi.
An anti-government protest rally was held near the defense ministry headquarters in Cairo. Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse hundreds of pro-Morsi students who had blocked a nearby road. Similar clashes broke out between police and pro-Morsi students in the Nile Delta city of Zakazik and the city of Alexandria where two demonstrators was killed and several others were injured by live rounds. The protesters demand Morsi\'s reinstatement. Egypt has seen deadly protests following Morsi\'s ouster by the military back in July. Meanwhile, students of Cairo\'s al-Azhar university have called for mass rallies in the city\'s iconic Liberation Square on Friday.
