Cairo: Police say a teenager injured in demonstrations in the northern Egyptian city of Mahalla Al Kobra died from his wounds.
Ahmed Ali Hammad, 15, died from gun shot wounds on Tuesday morning in the Mahalla hospital, said a security official on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press.
The gritty industrial city has been the scene of two days of violent clashes between police and residents angered over rising food prices. On Sunday, security prevented workers from going on strike.
