1 American and 1 Egyptian reported dead in Alexandria so far

The violence has begun slowly tonight, but it has certainly begun. (Fridays are traditionally the most explosive days in the Arab World, following Friday prayers and afterward.)

Alexandria tends to be a bit more violent than Cairo, and the first reported deaths tonight (there was at least one killed earlier today in Zagazig, Morsi’s hometown), are from that beautiful seaside city.

Here is David Kirkpatrick, the Egypt guy for the NY Times, reporting on the American death:
