Egypt Heads for Showdown with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood
(Telegraph-UK) Richard Spencer - Egypt's military-backed government said Wednesday that mediation efforts with supporters of deposed president Morsi had failed, threatening a forcible end to their protests. Interim prime minister Hazem el-Beblawi said he was holding Morsi's Islamist backers "fully responsible." "The decision agreed on by all to clear the sit-ins is final and irreversible," he said, reading a statement approved by the cabinet.
