“Police fired tear gas into crowds as violent clashes between authorities and anti-government protesters erupted Friday in the Egyptian cities of Cairo and Alexandria.
At least 1,000 protesters gathered in Alexandria, and youths hurled rocks through black clouds of gas. Crowds ran through the streets toward the city’s central square.
In Cairo, police were out in force on the streets as the country’s largest opposition bloc continued to calls for protests.”
