Egypt Tense After Fighting Leaves 30 Dead

Bad omens

Egyptians were on edge Saturday after clashes between supporters and opponents of ousted president Mohammed Morsi left at least 30 people dead across the divided country.

Emergency services official Amr Salama said 12 people were killed Friday in the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria when hundreds of Islamists descended on a rally by opponents of Morsi, opening fire with guns.

Besides the 30 killed throughout the day, some 210 were wounded, Heath Ministry official Khaled el-Khatib told The Associated Press.
