One Egyptian Killed in Election Violence Riot police clashed Thursday with would-be voters, killing one person, and they closed off polling stations in several Muslim Brotherhood and opposition strongholds as Egypt entered the final round of its troubled legislative elections. Police fired into a crowd in the Balteem district of Kafr el-Sheik, killing Gomaa el-Zeftawi, a fisherman, and wounding 60 other people, said Mohammed el-Ashqar, a campaign worker for a Nasserite opposition candidate.
