NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- At least 12 tanks were deployed outside the
presidential palace in Egypt on Thursday as protests against President
Mohamed Morsi's regime grew more violent, with five people killed and
450 wounded, according to reports. Islamists and seculor protesters
fought with firebombs, rocks and fists in what's being described as the
first major outbreak in the two years since the revolt against ousted
leader Hosni Mubarak. The protests came as three senior Morsi advisors
stepped down on Wednesday. The government also guarded the headquarters
of state television, according to a report in The New York Times.
