Egypt unrest: Muslim Brotherhood 'fired on police'

A TV station, which backs the government in Egypt, has aired infrared footage which the authorities say shows Muslim Brotherhood gunmen firing on police.

The claim follows the deaths of scores of protesters in Cairo, as security forces stormed the camps of Muslim Brotherhood supporters.

A state of emergency has been declared in Egypt and a curfew has begun.

For the record, I am not saying this is correct, only that the BBC says the gov says it and claim the video shows it. I am praying for an end to the bloodshed there. That is all.
