At least three killed in Cairo clashes

2^min

At least three people were killed in clashes in Cairo on Friday, a health ministry official said, as Muslim Brotherhood supporters clashed with residents and security forces.

Security sources said birdshot had been fired. The health ministry official, who declined to be named, said at least one of those who died had been killed by live ammunition.

Hundreds of Egyptian protesters have taken to the streets, some clashing with security forces, to protest the decision by former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to run in upcoming presidential elections.

State news media reported that security forces dispersed marches in the northern city of Alexandria and several areas in and around the capital, Cairo.

Dozens of el-Sissi's supporters also rallied in Alexandria and Cairo, waving Egyptian flags and raising posters bearing his picture.

In a televised speech late Wednesday, el-Sissi said he would be retiring from the military to launch his campaign, a legal requirement for candidates. El-Sissi is widely expected to win.

Supporters of the ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi said Thursday they will continue protests against what they called el-Sissi's "republic of fear."
