Egyptian security forces shoot dead dozens of pro-Mursi supporters
By Tom Perry and Noah Browning
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian security forces shot dead dozens of supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi on Saturday, witnesses said, days after the army chief called for a popular mandate to wipe out "violence and terrorism".
Men in helmets and black police fatigues fired on crowds gathered before dawn on the fringes of a round-the-clock sit-in near a mosque in northeast Cairo, Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood said.
"They are not shooting to wound, they are shooting to kill," said Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad. "The bullet wounds are in the head and chest."
A Muslim Brotherhood website said 120 people had been killed and some 4,500 injured. A Reuters reporter counted 36 bodies at one morgue, while health officials said there were a further 21 corspes in two nearby hospitals.
Activists rushed blood-spattered casualties into a makeshift hospital, some were carried in on planks or blankets. One ashen teenager was laid out on the floor, a bullet hole in his head.
Egypt's Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim told reporters only 21 had died and denied police had opened fire, accusing the Brotherhood of exaggerating for political ends.
Ibrahim said local residents living close to the Rabaa al-Adawia mosque vigil had clashed with protesters in the early hours after they had blocked off a major road bridge. He said that police had used teargas to try to break up the fighting.
Well over 200 people have been killed in violence since the army toppled Mursi on July 3, following huge protests against his year in power. The army denies accusations it staged a coup, saying it intervened to prevent national chaos.
The Arab world's most populous state is battling economic woes and struggling with the transition to democracy two years after Hosni Mubarak was swept from power in the Arab Spring.
SISI
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians had poured onto the streets on Friday in response to a call by army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for nationwide demonstrations to give him backing to confront the weeks-long wave of violence.
His appeal was seen as a challenge to the Brotherhood, which organised its own rallies on Friday calling for the return of Mursi, who has been held in an undisclosed location since his ousting and faces a raft of charges, including murder.
Brotherhood leaders appealed for calm on Saturday, but activists at the Rabaa al-Adawia mosque vigil voiced fury.
"The people want the execution of Sisi," a cleric shouted to the crowd from a stage by the mosque. "The people want the execution of the butcher."
Interior Minister Ibrahim said the pro-Mursi sit-ins would "God willing, soon ... be dealt with" based on a decision by a public prosecutor, who is reviewing complaints from local residents unhappy with the huge encampment on their doorstep.
The Brotherhood is a highly organised movement with grassroots support throughout Egypt, making it hard to silence even if the army decides to mount a bigger crackdown.
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said she "deeply deplores" Saturday's deaths and urged all sides to halt the violence. There was no immediate comment from the United States, which provides Egypt with some $1.5 billion dollars of aid a year, mainly military hardware.
Washington has delayed delivery of four F-16 fighters because of the turmoil, however, officials have indicated they do not intend to cut off aid to a country seen as a vital ally and which has a peace deal with neighbouring Israel.
"BULLETS WHIZZING"
Witnesses said police first fired rounds of teargas at Brotherhood protesters gathered on a boulevard leading away from the Rabaa mosque, with live shots ringing out soon afterwards.
"There were snipers on the rooftops, I could hear the bullets whizzing past me," said Ahmed el Nashar, 34, a business consultant, choking back his tears.
"Man, people were just dropping."
Dr. Ibtisam Zein, overseeing the Brotherhood morgue, said most of the dead were hit in the head, some between the eyes.
The bodies were wrapped in white sheets and laid on the floor, their names scrawled on the shrouds. A cleaner busily mopped the floor, washing away pools of blood.
Haddad said the Brotherhood remained committed to pursuing peaceful protests, despite Saturday's deaths - the second mass shooting of its supporters this month by security forces, who killed 53 people on July 8.
Brotherhood activists at Rabaa said they would not be cowed and warned of worse bloodshed if the security forces did not back down. "We will stay here until we die, one by one," said Ahmed Ali, 24, helping treat casualties at the field hospital.
"We have the examples of Algeria and Syria in our minds. We don't want it to become a civil war. If we take up arms it might become one. This is a religious belief."
There was little mention of the violence on Egypt's two state television channels, which broadcast weather reports and a talk show on Saturday morning. All three state newspapers headlined their morning editions with Friday's rallies, saying Egyptians had given Sisi the support he had asked for.
"The people give the army and the police a mandate to confront terrorism," said a strap headline on the bottom of a broadcast on the state's Nile TV.
Ibrahim said Mursi, who has not been seen in public since his removal from power, was likely to be transferred shortly to the same Cairo prison where former leader Mubarak is now held.

Michael J. Fox is 'really happy with how it feels to be at work'
TV 
21 hours ago

Michael J. Fox and Betsy Brandt appear at the TCA summer press tour in Beverly Hills to discuss "The Michael J. Fox Show."
After more than a decade in semi-retirement from acting, beloved actor Michael J. Fox is coming back strong this fall, starring on an NBC comedy loosely based on his life. "The Michael J. Fox Show" centers on a local Manhattan television anchor who has spent five years at home with his family after he's diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
The pilot focuses on Mike Henry's family dynamics, and pulls no punches when it comes to dealing with the disease and its symptoms. When asked by reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Saturday if the subject may be too uncomfortable to provoke laughter, Fox said subsequent episodes are more focused on the family's general life.
"This is a reflection of my experience," Fox said. "The way I look at life, the way I look at the reality of Parkinson?s, is that sometimes it?s frustrating and sometimes it?s funny. I need to look at it that way and I think other people need to look at it that way. But beyond that, I think we all get our own Parkinson's, we all get our own thing. And I think that we?ll look at it from the filter of that experience: I need to laugh at my stuff too."
Fox, 52, disclosed in 1999 that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease eight years earlier. Although he's had short guest acting stints on television shows, like "The Good Wife" and "Rescue Me," Fox has not held a full-time job since he semi-retired in 2000 when his symptoms worsened.
"A lot of times when you have a disability, one of the things you deal with is other people's projections of what your experience is and people projecting what they think it is, and their fear about it, and not seeing the experience you?re having," Fox said. "Parkinson?s itself, there?s nothing horrifying about it to me. It is what I deal with. It is my reality and it is my life. But it?s not horrifying. It?s not gothic nastiness."
Now that six episodes of the single-camera comedy have been shot, Fox said he feels like he's "rebuilding muscle" and is more comfortable with the long hours of a television production schedule. Betsy Brandt of "Breaking Bad" plays Annie, his wife, and the Henrys are raising three children.
"I?m really happy with how it feels to be back at work," he said. Asked if he might also star in a movie now that he's working again, Fox replied: "I can?t imagine doing 22 episodes of this thing and then spend my summer doing a movie...That's crazy, that?s how I got in this mess!"
Fox said his guest-star work helped him reach the conclusion that he needed to return to the job he was born to do. During his semi-hiatus from performing, he spent time with his children during their formative years and experimented with medications and treatments, he said.
"This is what I do," he said. "This is what I was built and programmed to do. "This is what I enjoy?why can?t I? There's no reason not to do it."
"The Michael J. Fox Show" premieres on Sept. 26 at 9:30 p.m.

Christine Quinn calls Weiner scandal 'a circus'
NEW YORK ? For the third day in a row, mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn took aim at rival Anthony Weiner, arguing his admission that he continued to send sexual messages to women he met online after he left Congress has become a distraction from real issues in the race for City Hall.
Speaking to reporters at an event where she was touting a plan to expand transportation service around the city, Quinn called the scandal enveloping Weiner?s campaign ?a circus? ? though she again stopped short of suggesting he quit the race.
?It?s sad the mayor?s race has become such a circus,? Quinn declared. ?We really need to have a real race about things that matter to voters. Congressmember Weiner has shown just a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth, and what New Yorkers deserve is a mayor with a record of delivering for them, of vision, and a level of maturity and responsibility. ? I just really want the race to get back to those kind of conversations, and not the circus that we see that is somewhat like 'Groundhog Day' and has been stuck in for quite some time.?
Asked if that is possible if Weiner stays in the race, Quinn replied, ?I believe it is. I believe we have to because that?s the conversation people want to have.?
Quinn?s comments came as Weiner has steadfastly refused to leave the race after his admission this week that he exchanged sexual messages with at least three women after he was forced out of Congress for sexting with women who were not his wife. Speaking at an event in Brooklyn on Thursday, Weiner insisted his behavior was ?in the past? and that he was focused on getting back to serious issues in the race, not a debate over his ?personal failings.?
But while Weiner insisted he would forge on in the race, his campaign scheduled an event on Friday afternoon on Staten Island about post-Superstorm Sandy recovery in a location that is hard to get to by public transportation ? and likely preventing many members of the New York press corps from attending.
On Friday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has steadfastly refused to comment on Weiner?s latest troubles, criticized the media for focusing so much coverage on the ex-lawmaker?s personal drama.
"If we devoted a quarter of the space to, 'Tell us what you'd (do) in the real world, where's the money gonna come from to deliver the things you promised,' the dialogue would be a lot better," Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show, according to Capital New York. "So sure, it takes away.?
Asked about Bloomberg?s comments, Quinn said she wasn?t sure if it was ?useful? to get into a blame game over coverage.
?New Yorkers have real issues, and they deserve to have a mayor that is prepared to work with them to solve the challenges they have, reduce the problems that they have, and they deserve to have a mayor?s race that is focused on them,? Quinn said. ?I think everybody needs to do everything they can to keep the mayor?s race focused on the people that matter, 8.4 million New Yorkers.?
