Bloodshed as Cairo camps cleared
Egyptian security forces have moved in to clear two protest camps occupied by
supporters of deposed president Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, with reports of many
killed.
The Muslim Brotherhood said more than 100 died, but the authorities put the
death toll much lower.
State TV showed armoured bulldozers moving deep into the main camp outside the
eastern Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque.
Authorities say the Nahda Square camp in western Cairo has been cleared.
The interior ministry said a mopping up operation in the streets surrounding
Nahda Square was under way. Pro-Morsi activists were chased into the nearby zoo
and Cairo University, Nile TV said.
Witnesses at Rabaa al-Adawiya spoke of seeing dozens of bodies on the ground,
and the Muslim Brotherhood described the security forces' intervention as a
massacre.
A spokesman told the BBC he had been told in a field hospital used by Morsi
supporters outside the mosque that 120 people had died.
At least two members of the security forces were among the dead and nine were
injured, officials say.
The interior ministry denied any deaths were caused by its forces firing live
ammunition.
"Security forces used only tear gas canisters to disperse the protesters though
it was heavily fired at by armed elements from inside the two protest camps,
causing the death of an officer and a conscript and the injury of four
policemen and two conscripts," the ministry said in a statement.
Earlier, the interior ministry said security forces were taking "necessary
measures" against the protest camps.
A safe exit would be provided for protesters and they would not be pursued,
"except those who are wanted by the prosecution", it said.
The interior ministry was keen "not to shed any Egyptian blood", the statement
went on.

Supporters of Mr Morsi have been occupying Nahda Square and the Rabaa
al-Adawiya site since he was ousted on 3 July. They want him reinstated.
Large plumes of smoke rose over parts of the city as the operation to clear the
camps began, with tear gas canisters fired and helicopters hovering above.
Muslim Brotherhood TV called for people to send cars to the sit-ins to take
casualties to hospital.
Several Muslim Brotherhood leaders have been arrested, private Egyptian TV
reports.
"We arrested a number of Muslim Brotherhood leaders, but it is too soon to
announce their names," interior ministry spokesman Abdel Fattah Uthman told CBC
TV.
The protesters had been expecting the clearance operation, says BBC Middle East
editor Jeremy Bowen.
It is a heavy-handed operation and is a consequence of the current "winner
takes all" climate, he adds, with both sides sticking to their positions and
pushing as hard as they can.
There are reports of further protests by Morsi supporters outside the capital.
In the northern city of Alexandria they are reported to have blocked main
roads. Hundreds are said to have gathered outside the governor's office in
Aswan in the south.
More than 250 people have been killed in clashes with the security forces in
the six weeks since Mr Morsi's overthrow.
Speaking to the BBC on Monday, Egypt's Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said the
sit-ins could not continue "endlessly".
He said the authorities had been trying to seek an agreement through dialogue.
"If the police force take their procedures, they will do that in accordance
with the law by court order and in accordance to the basic norms on which these
things are done."
