Boy Shot and Killed Near Demonstrations in Egypt
10-year-old was walking with his mother
A 10-year-old boy has been shot dead while walking near the site of clashes between supporters and opponents of deposed president Mohamed Morsi in Egypt's northern city of Suez, security and medical sources said.
Morsi's supporters have staged frequent protests in towns and cities, many of them after Friday prayers, since the army deposed him on July 3 in response to mass protests against his rule, and arrested most of the top leaders of his Muslim Brotherhood group.
At least 35 people have been arrested during the latest protests across the country on Friday.
The marches in multiple districts of Cairo and other cities were commemorating the August 14 storming by security forces on two pro-Morsi protest camps in the capital that killed hundreds of Islamists.
