Egypt: 9 Killed in Clashes Between Morsi Supporters, Critics 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, at least six people were killed overnight in clashes between
supporters and opponents of ousted President Mohamed Morsi near the main
campus of Cairo University. Three others were killed in similar violence
the day before. Morsi's family blasted Egypt's military rulers on
Monday, accusing them of kidnapping Morsi, a leader of the Muslim
Brotherhood party who has been held incommunicado since his removal
nearly three weeks ago. Morsi's supporters are vowing to continue their
call for the military to go.

Ahmed Amer: "There is no return backwards, no to the military rule. We
must end the military rule and the national security units. They should
go back to their holes. There is no return of the national security
units. God willing, there will not be an erasing of the light. We will
not retreat. If they want to come back (to rule), then they should do so
over the bodies of the millions in the streets."
