67. "At least two confirmed deaths in Egypt violence"
Wed Dec 5, 2012, 06:31 PM
Dec 2012

...

The armed Brotherhood supporters were reported to have used knives, broken glass, Molotov cocktails, rubber bullets and live ammunition to disperse the opposition sit-in that followed a massive protest outside the presidential palace late on Tuesday, calling for Morsi to step down.

...

Thousands of supporters of Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi violently attacked and threw out protesters who had gathered by the presidential palace on Wednesday, taking down their tents.

...

The violence continues into Tuesday evening, in what activists have described to Bikyamasr.com as “sad,” “shocking” and “unbelievable.”

...

The Brotherhood supporters were heard screaming “Allah Akbar” as they rushed forward in wave after wave of attack against the protesters against Morsi.
