Islamists and opposition clash in Alexandria

Riot police fired tear gas to separate clashing protesters in Egypt's second city of Alexandria on Friday as tensions rose over a new constitution. Demonstrators outside the Kaed Ibrahim mosque clashed with a number of anti-Morsi protesters in Alexandria’s Ramleh Station. The two camps threw rocks and security forces stationed in the area has tried to separate them using teargas. Skirmishes continue between the two sides, who fled from the teargas into the Corniche road that runs along the Mediterranean sea in the coastal city. Lines of black-clad officers kept apart thousands of Islamists on one side and hundreds of anti-constitution protesters on the other. Similar clashes occurred last Friday at the same location.
