Egypt boils over again

A student has been killed in Egypt as supporters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood clashed with police and university buildings were set on fire.

State TV blamed protesters for the fire at al-Azhar University's business faculty, where exams had to be postponed, and the agriculture faculty.

The Brotherhood said police were "fabricating" the charges.

The crackdown on the group began when President Mohammed Morsi, who belongs to it, was deposed by the army in July.

The campus fires had been brought under control by Saturday afternoon, and some 60 people had been arrested, reports said.

The Brotherhood, which had been banned since September from all activity, was declared a terrorist group on Wednesday following a suicide bombing of a police headquarters in the Nile Delta.
