2 Killed in Egypt Protests Marking 1-Year Anniversary of Rabaa Massacre 
------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, state forces have killed at least two people in protests
marking the one-year anniversary of a massacre of demonstrators opposed
to the country's military coup. A year ago, tens of thousands of people
camped out to protest the ouster of democratically elected President
Mohamed Morsi. Over the course of a single day, in what became known as
the Rabaa massacre, Egyptian forces killed at least 800 people. To mark
the anniversary, hundreds of Morsi supporters have blocked roads and
highways in Cairo and Giza.
