Moslimbroeders vallen politiestations aan

Egypt's Interior Ministry has said that Muslim Brotherhood leaders have ordered members to attack police stations in the governorates, Ahram reported Aug. 14. The statement is based on discoveries from security monitoring. In a statement published by state news agency MENA, the ministry said the Brotherhood's plans are already being executed in Sohag, Minya, Assiut, Beni Suef and Cairo. Interior Ministry forces are working against the plans and warned citizens not to approach any police facilities.

Supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and Egyptian police are exchanging gunfire at Al-Nahda Square in Giza, Ahram reported Aug. 14. Meanwhile, Christian targets have been subject to attacks in Suez, where pro-Morsi protesters threw Molotov cocktails at a church and set fire to three military vehicles. In Ismailiya, a military officer and a conscript were killed and two officers were injured by unknown gunmen. The Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya movement, an ally of the Muslim Brotherhood, urged Morsi supporters to protest to condemn "coup crimes" but urged protesters not to attack Christians or their churches.
