    Near Cairo's Tahrir Square, the opposing camps threw stones and shot fireworks at each other as security forces fired tear gas to try to disperse them, witnesses said.
    The Monday violence took place when several hundred pro-Morsi protesters were marching toward the US Embassy to hold a demonstration against alleged American meddling in Egypt's affairs, the official said.
    The march passed an entrance to Tahrir Square manned by anti-Morsi protesters, and the two sides pelted each other with rocks. Gunfire was heard, but it was not clear who was firing.
    Armored vehicles moved and blocked the road, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
    One Egyptian man was killed and at least 26 were injured in clashes on Monday between supporters and opponents of the ousted President Mohamed Morsi, state television reported.
    At the sam time, the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram's website reported three were killed in similar clashes north of Cairo.
