65 dead in Cairo rioting

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 28 Juli 2013 | 10.46

At least 65 people were killed in Cairo yesterday when supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi clashed with security forces and armed men.

Tear-gas canisters, bird shot and live rounds were fired at the crowds, witnesses said, in the deadliest bout of violence since the military ousted Morsi on July 3.

"There were snipers on rooftops, I could hear the bullets whizzing by me," said Ahmed el Nashar, 34. "Man, people were just dropping."

"They are not shooting to wound, they are shooting to kill," Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad, said. "The bullet wounds are in the head and chest."

Authorities say the violence erupted when pro-Morsi demonstrators tried to expand their sit-in camp onto a main street and were confronted by cops and armed civilians.

Ahmed Aref, another Brotherhood spokesman, said the death toll was almost double the military's estimates and added that 61 people on life support were declared "brain dead."

On Friday, nine people were killed in clashes in Alexandria — putting the death toll at 74 in two days. The clashes came after the country's army chief asked the public to support a mass crackdown on "terrorism."
