Hundreds of fans took to the streets of Port Said late Friday, besieging the Suez Canal Authority building and shutting down roads leading to the coastal Mediterranean city.

The Bedouins had blockaded the Multinational Force and Observers mission to pressure the Egyptian government to release their brethren who they claim were unfairly convicted for bombing attacks on popular tourist spots in Taba in 2004, at Sharm Al Sheikh the following year, and Dahab in 2006.

Later, clashes broke out near the site of the blast, during which an Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula leader identified as Nasser al-Zafari was reported killed.

The women have been in detention since bin Laden was killed in May.
