EGYPT: Reports of more protesters killed in north
Four people have been killed in the Egyptian town of El Arish as a result of clashes between protesters demanding the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak and the police, Al Arabiya television network reported Friday.
The deaths came after protesters in the northern Sinai town exchanged gunfire with police and hurled Molotov cocktails at a police station, witnesses told Al Jazeera satellite network. About 1,000 protesters broke off from a larger group and headed toward a police station, lobbing firebombs and burning police cars, witnesses told the network.

uh, lets see, they hurled molitov cocktails at the police station, and then they got shot by police. No outrage there, police defending themselves. That would happen in the USA too.
