CAIRO; student Killed In Clash With Police.

One student was killed yesterday and scores were arrested when supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood clashed with Egyptian police at the Cairo campus of Al Azhar University.

Shaimaa Mounir, a student activist, said the dead student was Khaled El Haddad, a supporter of the Brotherhood that was designated this week as a terrorist organisation by the state.

Security forces fired tear gas to disperse pro-Brotherhood students who were preventing their classmates from entering university buildings to take exams.

Protesters threw rocks at police and set tyres on fire to counter the tear gas. Five students were injured in the clash.

The violence followed clashes across the country on Friday in which five people died.

Two college buildings caught fire in yesterday's violence. State TV broadcast footage of black smoke billowing from the faculty of commerce building and said "terrorist students" also set the agriculture faculty building on fire.

Police arrested 101 students for possession of makeshift weapons including petrol bombs, the state news agency reported.
