65 protesters hurt in Egypt

The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly clashes between Christians and Muslims that left a church burned and 15 dead.

More than 100 people rushed into the sit-in area, lobbing rocks and fire bombs from a flyover and charging towards the few hundred protesters sleeping in the area. Vehicles were set on fire and fires burned in the middle of the street.
