Two of Egypt’s presidential candidates, including the Muslim Brotherhood, said
their candidates would suspend their election campaigns for two days to
mourn the dead.
Egypt’s health ministry confirmed the deaths of five people, although
protesters said that at least eight of their number had died, with as many
as 200 others injured.
They accused the perpetrators of the attack of being plainclothes soldiers,
saying they had found army ration packs among the possessions of some
members of the mob that they had managed to overpower.
Protesters who have gathered outside the defence ministry in the past have
also come under attack, often by people claiming to be local residents tired
of demonstrations.
