CAIRO - Egyptian protesters set fire to Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in the capital Cairo on Thursday in response to Wednesday's clashes that killed six people and injured over 1,000, said the Brotherhood's official website.
The website said that over 3,000 protesters broke into the Brotherhood's main headquarters and set fire to its contents.
