Egypt Explodes: 40-800 Dead Muslim Brotherhood In Despair..
Nearly 100 killed as Egyptian forces break up sit-ins CAIRO —
Nearly 100 people were killed in clashes across the country that erupted Wednesday when Egyptian security forces cleared out thousands of people at sit-ins demanding the return of ousted president Mohammed Morsi. The Egyptian Health Ministry says 95 people died and hundreds were injured in the clashes. Egypt's interim president has declared a monthlong state of emergency. In Cairo, smoke spread across the sky from fires smoldering in the streets where two sit-ins were largely abandoned, heaped with charred tent poles and tarps.
