Over 50 Killed in Egypt Clashes 
--------------------------------


 
At least 51 people were killed in Egypt on Sunday in the continued
fallout from the overthrow of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Egyptian
forces fired on Morsi supporters as they attempted to march on a
pro-military rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Overall, at least 268
people were wounded in clashes nationwide. More than 400 supporters of
Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were reportedly detained. The violence
fell on the 40th anniversary of Egypt's war to reclaim the Sinai
Peninsula from Israel.
