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.

I just listened to the MB/Morsi spokes person....what a liar! But no surprise...the idea is to get the International community to sympathize with the Bortherhood...but anybody who has an ounce of understanding of the Brotherhood knows full well only death and injury follow them whatever nation they are in.
The Egyptian People have spoken clearly they do not want an Islamic Governance (Shariah).....the Brotherhood clearly has well blew their opportunity to show they are other than we know them to be......
The chaos in Egypt is confined to Nasr City/Rabaa for the most part as the military continues to contain the killings amongst themsleves.
This began when the Morsi people tried to cross the Oct bridge again....in order to once more incite violence with the Ant-terrorists groups. They also broke into an another area to set up more camps.
It’s like when cities have told the Occupy people time to go home....the Morsi people have stopped business in the area and the neighbors are filing complaints...as well as bricking up the roads from traffic....
the killings are largly the Snipers bought and paid for by the MBS...and shooting their own people.
That is not to say the Military isn’t firing when the HEAVILY ARMED MBS cAME AT THEM WITH MACHINE GUNS!
This is what you get for having an “Arab Spring.” It’s a choice between Islamic dictatorship, or secular dictatorship. And to think that there are “conservatives” who support this farce of “Arab Democracy.”
My Egyptian sources agree and support what you wrote.
Bad times? Good times. They’re shedding themselves of the MB. Keep shooting and aim true!
If you only take one, he'll drink all your beer.
The best humor is always based on truth.

Be careful what you wish for Ahmed, the military seems happy to be of service.
