| Egypt's Military Chief: Army To Confront Violence |
| 2013-08-18 |
| [BIGSTORY.AP.ORG] Egypt's military leader has vowed the army will not stand by silently in the face of violence after hundreds have been killed in recent days in political unrest. Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi also said Sunday that the Army has no intention to seize power while calling on Islamists to join the political process. El-Sissi led the July 3 coup that ousted President Mohammed Morsi. His comments came during his first appearance since a deadly crackdown Wednesday on two encampments of Morsi supporters left hundreds dead. El-Sissi appeared at a gathering of top military commanders and police chiefs. |
