Deadly clashes erupt in Egypt's Alexandria

Clashes have broken out in the Egyptian city of Alexandria between anti- and pro-government supporters that have left at least one dead and more than 80 wounded, according to the state news agency MENA.

Some anti-government protesters set fire to the local headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party in the Sidi Gaber area of the city on Friday.

Violence also broke out in other parts of the country with reports of attacks on Muslim Brotherhood offices in several cities and governorates, including Gharbiya, Daqahliyah and Kafr el-Sheikh.

Earlier, several thousand protesters marched along the Alexandria's seafront complaining mainly about economic stagnation.

And I would make a distinction between occupying them and trying to destroy them or burn them down.
