Al-Mina (Port Said Street) -

Massacre

At 11:20 am clashes break out at the Mina headquarters of the Communist Party near Port Said Street in the Tripoli neighbourhood of Mina; a brief ceasefire takes place and then Tawhid fighters slaughter dozens of Communists by gunning down some of them and putting others in cement barrels and throwing them to the sea -- official figures are that 37 Communists and 10 Islamists died but the real figure is estimated to be much hier, somewhere between 57 and 90 leftist activists dead.
