11 Killed in Clashes over Egypt Referendum Vote 
------------------------------------------------


 
At least 11 people were killed in Egypt on Tuesday as voting opened on a
constitutional referendum. Egyptian forces clashed with demonstrators
calling for a boycott of the vote and denouncing military rule. More
violence has been reported today as the referendum continues for a
second and final day. The vote could set the stage for a presidential
run by Egypt's military ruler, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
