In the political unrest after the ouster of
President Mohamed Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood supporters throw three teenage boys
off a roof, killing one.
As Muslim Brotherhood supporters rained stones
and birdshot on demonstrators huddled at the opposite end of a busy street,
Hamada Badr raced to the roof of a six-story apartment block to get a better
view.
Some said 17-year-old Hamada and three teenage
friends lobbed rocks at the pro-Brotherhood mob below. His friends denied this.
But there is little dispute about what happened next.
Several Islamists chased after them, reached the
roof and, to the horror of onlookers, threw three of the teens off the building
in quick succession. Two fell 20 feet from a water tower to the main roof below
and survived with injuries. A third escaped by clambering down a water pipe
along the side of the building. But Hamada plummeted all the way to the ground,
dying of severe internal bleeding at a hospital shortly afterward, friends
said.
