Nine dead in latest Egypt clashes
A string of attacks has killed nine members of Egypt’s security and military forces in an apparent retaliation by Islamic militants a day after more than 50 supporters of the ousted president were killed in clashes with police.
The attacks included the first strike against civilian infrastructure in the heart of the capital Cairo. They also blurred the lines between the wave of Islamist protests against the military removal of president Mohammed Morsi and an insurgency that had been previously been largely confined to the northern Sinai Peninsula.
