3 Killed in Clashes in Egypt

Three people were killed in clashes in Egypt.

Protesters demanding that Mohammed Morsi be returned to power clashed with police.

In a dramatic change, the military turned to militia groups and asked them to protect buildings which are often targeted by Islamist groups.

Most of the protesters are supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was officially listed as a terrorist organization, on Wednesday.

3 NATO Troops Killed in Afghanistan

A suicide bomber struck a military convoy, just outside of Kabul, on Friday.

Three NATO soldiers were killed and six civilians wounded, in the blast.

At this time, NATO has not released the nationality of the soldiers lost.

The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the attack, though as usual they exaggerated the destruction it caused.
