Protests Swell in Egypt

July 1, 2013 · 10:02 am ET · Leave a Comment

BBC:
“Anti-government protesters in Egypt have stormed the national
headquarters of President Mohammed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood in the
capital, Cairo. People are reported to have ransacked the building in
the eastern Moqattam district and also set it on fire. Eight people have
been killed outside since Sunday.”

Al Jazeera:
“Protesters seeking to force Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi from
office are gearing up for a second day of action, after large crowds
thronged the streets of Cairo and cities around the country and marched
on the presidential palace. In the capital, the seat of the powerful
Muslim Brotherhood to which Morsi belongs, was set ablaze before people
stormed and looted the building.”
