4: Morsi supporters clash with police

CAIRO — Police fired tear gas to drive hundreds of supporters of Egypt’s ousted Islamist president from Cairo’s famed Tahrir Square on Sunday, as a panel tasked with amending a constitution adopted during his time in office convened for a second day.

The 50-member assembly revising the Islamist-tilted charter adopted under former President Mohammed Morsi has been voting clause-byclause on the final draft.

When that process is completed, the document will be put to a vote in a nationwide referendum to be called by Interim President Adly Mansour.

If adopted, a giant step in the roadmap announced by the military when it removed Morsi last summer will have been completed. The next steps are parliamentary and presidential elections by the spring or early summer of 2014, according to the political blueprint.
