In Egypt, Hundreds of Thousands Protest against President Morsi
(Los Angeles Times) Jeffrey Fleishman and Ingy Hassieb - Protesters against President Mohamed Morsi filled streets and squares on Sunday, yelling "Leave, leave!" on the first anniversary of his inauguration. The breadth of the protests was a stunning rejection of Morsi, yet the demonstrations were largely peaceful, often festive. The state news agency said about 500 young men hurling stones and firebombs set ablaze the headquarters of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party in Cairo. The police, long suspicious of Islamists, have refused to protect Brotherhood headquarters.
