( CNN ) -- Egyptian student protesters who back the Muslim Brotherhood are accused of torching the cafeteria of a Cairo university , state media reported . The protesting students allegedly stormed the colleges of trade , engineering and science at Azhar University on Saturday and set fire to its cafeteria , according to the official MENA news agency . Authorities arrested 60 students , the Ministry of the Interior told state-run Nile TV . The protesters were armed with Molotov cocktails and other weapons , the ministry said . One student was killed in the violence , the Muslim Brotherhood said in a statement . The Brotherhood said security forces , `` in an attempt to silence any voice of opposition , '' fired tear gas , live bullets and birdshot at the protesting students . Students at the university have been on `` strike '' following the killings of students and professors by security forces , the Muslim Brotherhood said . The clash at the university is the latest in a string of incidents between security forces and backers of the Muslim Brotherhood . The Egyptian government this week declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organization . The government has threatened to arrest anyone who attends Muslim Brotherhood protests or provides financial support to the organization , an Islamist group which helped propel ousted President Mohamed Morsy to power . Morsy , the nation 's first democratically elected president , was forced out of office in July by the nation 's military and arrested following widespread protests and petitions calling for his removal . Detractors said he was a tyrant trying to impose conservative values . Supporters called his removal a coup and a blow to the democratic movement that toppled former Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak in 2011 . In clashes in Cairo on Friday , at least three people died and 265 were arrested . CNN 's Ian Lee contributed to this report .
