| Video Discription | From Washington here is the news in VOA SPECIAL ENGLISH Protesters in several Egyptian cities attacked the offices of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood on Friday and pro- and anti-government groups gathered in the capital, Cairo, after President Mohamed Morsi announced that he would take new powers. Mr Morsi said his decisions now cannot be changed by the courts or any other group. Friday, he told supporters at the presidential palace that he wants to move Egypt forward as a secure and safe nation. He said he does not want to control the country by himself. Thousands of opposition supporters gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday to protest the president's decision to take on new powers. Police fired tear gas at the crowds. In the cities of Port Said, Ismailia and Alexandria, protesters threw stones and explosives and set fire to Muslim Brotherhood offices. Activists report heavy fighting between Syrian government troops and rebels who want to keep control of neighborhoods south of the capital, Damascus. Also Friday, Iran's parliament speaker Ali Larijani met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus and with Syria's parliament speaker. Syrian state media reported that Mr Larijani accused countries in the area of causing problems in Syria. But he also said there is a need for democratic reform in the country. Israeli gunfire at the Gaza Strip border has killed a Palestinian man. It was the first death since a cease-fire between Israeli and Hamas fighters stopped eight days of deadly fighting. The cease-fire took effect late Wednesday. With the killing, Hamas accused Israel of violating the cease-fire. Palestinian medical officials say the dead man was shot as he came near the border fence Friday with a group of Palestinians. Israeli officials say soldiers fired warning shots into the air when about 300 Palestinians began moving toward the fence. The military says when they refused to move back, troops fired at their legs, wounding several of them. Officials in Afghanistan say a suicide car bomber has attacked several government offices in eastern Afghanistan. Two people were killed in the incident Friday and at least 70 others were injured. Officials say the explosion happened in Maidan Shar, the capital of Wardak province, near the Wardak provincial governor's buildings. Several coalition service members suffered minor injuries. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. The group said it was reacting to the executions of four Taliban members at a prison near Kabul. |
