CAIRO (AFP)--Twenty people were killed in clashes as attackers stormed an anti-military protest near the defense ministry in the Egyptian capital Wednesday, medics said.
A doctor at a field hospital set up in the area said 20 people were killed and dozens injured.
The protesters, supporters of Salafist politician Hazem Abu Ismail, had been camped out since Saturday after the electoral commission barred the popular hardline Islamist from contesting next month's presidential election.
