Dozens dead in Egypt 'Friday of anger' crisis

More than 80 people die in fresh violence in Egypt, officials say, as protesters loyal to ousted President Morsi clash with security forces.

Most of the reported deaths were in Cairo, but about 25 were elsewhere, including 12 in Nile Delta cities.
The clashes began Friday following afternoon prayers, when thousands of Muslim Brotherhood protesters demanding the return of Morsy took to the streets promising a day of rage.

Hundreds of people had gathered at a mosque in Cairo's Ramses square on Friday, after the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Mr Morsi is a member, appealed to its supporters to join a "march of anger".

The demonstrations took place under the slogan "the people want to topple the coup" - referring to the military's removal of Mr Morsi in early July.
The protests quickly became violent - the BBC's Jeremy Bowen says the trigger was when a police station came under fire.

Since Wednesday, 52 police officers have been killed, state television reported. Earlier reports of 64 dead were incorrect. State TV also said 25 police stations and 10 churches have been attacked. The interim government has blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for the attacks.

At least 263 people, described by armed members of the Muslim Brotherhood, have been arrested across the country, according to the Egyptian Ministry of Information.

"The struggle to overthrow this illegitimate regime is an obligation," the Muslim Brotherhood said on its website Friday, while urging people to protest peacefully.
