(Reuters) - Egyptian police fired tear
gas on Friday to disperse supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood who the
Interior Ministry said had blocked traffic near a television production
complex outside the capital, Cairo.
A ministry statement gave no details on the size of the protest or whether anyone had been hurt or detained. Egypt was braced on Friday for a possible crackdown on two Cairo sit-ins by Muslim Brotherhood supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Mursi.
