Deadly clashes as Egypt Islamists protest Clashes between supporters and opponents of Egypt's Mohamed Morsi have killed at least three people. SUPPORTERS of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi have taken to the streets in their tens of thousands, defying his army deposers and triggering running clashes that killed at least three people. The sound of gunfire was heard as supporters and opponents of Morsi hurled rocks at each other on the October 6 bridge leading to Cairo's Tahrir Square, symbol of the 2011 revolt that toppled dictator Hosni Mubarak. Friday's skirmishes came after the supreme guide of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood vowed the Islamist movement would stay on the streets in their millions until his presidency is restored. Following Mohammed Badie's declaration, thousands of Islamists marched on the state television building, even after three Islamist protesters were shot dead at a nearby Cairo rally. As military helicopters flew low overhead, Badie appeared on stage to screams of joy from jubilant supporters, following reports he had been detained in the wake of Wednesday's ouster of the president. "Millions will remain in the squares until we carry our elected president, Mohamed Morsi, on our shoulders," Badie told the crowd outside Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, before leading chants of "Military coup!" and "Invalid!" Badie's impassioned speech came just three hours after three protesters were killed outside the Republican Guard headquarters after breaking away from the demonstration outside the mosque. The bodies of two people were covered with sheets, said an AFP correspondent, adding that another protester was shot in the head. The health ministry confirmed the death toll. The armed forces have already sworn in an interim president, however, and Adly Mansour issued his first decree on Friday, dissolving the Islamist-led parliament and appointing a new intelligence chief. Before Friday's rallies, around a dozen low-flying military jets screeched across Cairo, but the show of force failed to deter Morsi's supporters. Shots rang out after one supporter tried to hang a picture of the ousted leader on barbed wire outside the headquarters, said the AFP correspondent. Despite being warned twice not to approach the building, the man did so, and members of the Guard started shooting. Bursts of gunfire were then heard from both sides, triggering panic, before security forces used tear gas to disperse the crowd. The military had said it supported the right to peaceful protest, but warned against violence and acts of civil disobedience. Violence also gripped other parts of Egypt, including the Sinai peninsula where gunmen killed four members of the security forces, and Islamists killed a soldier in a machine gun and rocket attack. On the eve of Friday's rallies, Mansour had called in a television interview for unity. We had enough of division," he told Britain's Channel 4. Thirty-five have also been banned from travel.
