CAIRO | (Reuters) - Gunmen and members of the
Egyptian security forces exchanged fire on Saturday in a Cairo square
where dozens of supporters of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Mursi
were shot dead the day before, Reuters journalists said.
Footage broadcast by the
privately-owned CBC station appeared to show someone firing from the
minaret of the Fath mosque in Ramses Square, where protests against the
army-backed government had converged on Friday.CBC said the exchange was between members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the police, though there was no way to confirm the identity of the gunmen independently.
