Morsi Supporters Fire Shots at Security in Cairo

Supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi climbed up to the minaret of the Fattah Mosque in Ramsis on Saturday and opened fire on army and police forces.

The protesters and security forces exchanged fire, causing a state of panic among civilians in the neighborhood, reported the state news agency.

A security source has told a satellite channel that Special Forces have begun evacuating the mosque and arresting the perpetrators of violence.

Security forces provided supporters with a safe exit out of the mosque earlier on Saturday. Source: Aswat Masriya
