At least one protester has been shot dead in clashes with security forces in Minya in Upper Egypt, as protests against the transitional government and in support of ousted president Mohamed Morsi gathered pace on Sunday. According to Egyptian state television there was an exchange of fire between security forces and demonstrators in the city of Delga in Minya. Three other protesters were injured. In September security forces stormed Delga after two months of attacks against local churches and Christian owned houses and shops, reportedly by Morsi supporters. Supporters of Mohamed Morsi are holding a series of protests across Egypt on Sunday, a national holiday which marks an initial military success in the 1973 war against Israel. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/83334.aspx
