Summary One person was killed and several others wounded in clashes between pro and anti-government forces.
CAIRO (AFP) - One person was killed and several others wounded when shooting broke out late Sunday outside the Cairo headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, a hospital official said.
The 26-year-old man died as protesters attacked the offices of the Brotherhood, the political force behind Egypt s embattled Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
Clashes erupted earlier Sunday evening around the building, in the eastern Mokattam district of the capital, as huge protests against Morsi took place across the country on the first anniversary of his taking power.
As the evening drew on, activists threw fire bombs, which started a fire at the building .
Supporters of the Brotherhood fired buckshot at the attackers in a bid to repel them, an AFP journalist at the scene reported. Later, automatic weapons fire could be heard around the building.
Brotherhood spokesman Gehad al-Haddad said around 150 "unidentified thugs" had attacked the offices, throwing fire bombs and stones.
Egyptian television showed images of dozens of people attacking the building.
