Cairo, Nov. 14 (Aswat Masriya) - Police forces broke up a protest supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and deposed President Mohamed Mursi in Alexandria's Siouf area after Friday noon prayer, a witness reported.

The police fired gas bombs to disperse the crowds and arrested some of them, the witness added.

Six marches roamed Alexandria on Friday to express support for Mursi and the Brotherhood in Alexandria.

On the other hand, hundreds of supporters of army chief and Defence Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi staged a demonstration at al-Qaed Ibrahim Mosque to urge him to run for president.

We gathered to tell General Sisi that he should run for president in the coming elections, said Mostafa Darwish, co-ordinator of "Enzel" movement.
