CAIRO: Student supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood on Saturday stormed a faculty building at Cairo's Al-Azhar University where exams were being taken and set it on fire, security officials said.

The blaze, which spread through two floors of the commerce faculty building, was later brought under control by firefighters, they said.

The violence comes a day after three people were killed in clashes and 265 arrested across Egypt in a crackdown on Brotherhood demonstrations after the movement was labelled a terrorist group by the military-installed government.
