Egypt Warns Against Unrest as Brotherhood Presses Protest

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood defied threats of a further crackdown on protests, urging supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi to march on security installations today.

The call followed the killing of dozens of the deposed president’s supporters by security forces over the weekend. The military, which toppled Mursi on July 3 after nationwide demonstrations against him, dropped leaflets on Islamist protesters telling them to keep away from the installations and “help us maintain your safety.”
