STORYLINE:
Thousands joined a funeral procession in the Egyptian city of Damanhoor on Monday for a 15-year-old boy who was killed on Sunday when a group of protesters tried to storm the local offices of the Egyptian president's Muslim Brotherhood group.
President Mohammed Morsi told the country's top judges earlier on Monday that he did not infringe on their authority when he seized near absolute powers, setting the stage for a prolonged showdown on the eve of mass protests planned by both supporters and opponents of the Islamist leader.
The uncompromising stance came during a meeting between Morsi and members of the Supreme Judiciary Council in a bid to resolve a four-day crisis that has plunged Egypt into a new round of turmoil with clashes between the two sides that have left one protester dead and hundreds wounded.
The Health Ministry said that 444 people have been wounded nationwide, including 49 who remain hospitalised, since the clashes erupted on Friday, according to a statement carried by the official news agency MENA.
Morsi's office said in a statement that he had ordered the country's top prosecutor to investigate the teenager's death, along with that of another young man shot in Cairo last week during demonstrations to mark the anniversary of deadly protests last year that called for an end to the then-ruling military.
