''Sixteen people have been killed and 200 wounded in an attack on a demonstration supporting President Morsi next to Cairo University,'' state television reported, citing the ministry.

Supporters of embattled President Mohamed Morsi have been demonstrating in the area, as tens of thousands of his political opponents swarm through the city's central square and government districts.

''The aggressors attacked us with firearms,'' one Morsi supporter, Mostafa Abdelnasser, told AFP by telephone, adding that he carried away a man who had been shot in the head.
