Egypt: Military-Backed Gov't Extends State of Emergency for 2 Months 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Egypt's military-backed government has extended a state of emergency for
two months just days before it was set to expire. The interim government
imposed emergency law starting last month after launching a crackdown
against supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi that has killed
some 1,000 people. The extension came the same day an Egyptian court
acquitted 10 police officers and four others in the killings of
protesters during the uprising against President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
