Scores Killed As Egypt Marks War Anniversary -- Al Jazeera

Clashes erupt after protesters defy army's warning against holding rallies on 40th anniversary of war with Israel.

At least 53 people were killed in clashes between supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and police in Egypt, as thousands of the military's supporters marked the anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
