"State TV blamed protesters for the fire in two faculties at al-Azhar University. Police said 101 people had been detained after the clashes. The crackdown on the Brotherhood began when President Mohammed Morsi, who belongs to it, was deposed by the army in July. The campus fires had been brought under control by Saturday afternoon, but exams at the business faculty reportedly had to be postponed. The Brotherhood said police were "fabricating" the charges. The Brotherhood, which had been banned since September from all activity, was declared a terrorist group on Wednesday following a suicide bombing of a police headquarters in the Nile Delta. The government said the Brotherhood was behind the attack - a charge it strongly denied.

"A college student was killed as supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood clashed with Egyptian police at a Cairo university, the group and state media reported Saturday.  The student, identified by activists as Khaled El-Haddad, was killed on the Cairo campus of al-Azhar University. El-Haddad was a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group that has gone from holding the seat of power in Egypt earlier this year to just this week being designated a terrorist organization by the state. "The Muslim Brotherhood strongly condemns the violent crackdown on student protests taking place across university campuses in Egypt," the organization said in a statement to NBC News. "The Muslim Brotherhood calls upon all local and international human rights groups, student groups, intellectuals and governments to condemn the daily violations against students' freedoms and human rights in Egypt." State-run newspaper Al-Ahram said that security forces on Saturday fired teargas to disperse pro-Brotherhood students who were preventing their classmates from entering university buildings to take exams..."

The protesting students allegedly stormed the colleges of trade, engineering and science at Azhar University on Saturday and set fire to its cafeteria, according to the official MENA news agency. Authorities arrested 60 students, the Ministry of the Interior told state-run Nile TV. The protesters were armed with Molotov cocktails and other weapons, the ministry said. One student was killed in the violence, the Muslim Brotherhood said in a statement.

Students at the university have been on "strike" following the killings of students and professors by security forces, the Muslim Brotherhood said. The clash at the university is the latest in a string of incidents between security forces and backers of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian government this week declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organization..."
