Egypt army deploys forces before Islamist protests
(Reuters) - The Egyptian military deployed around vital installations in Cairo, state media reported, before "Friday of Anger" protests called by backers of deposed President Mohamed Mursi.
Hundreds of people died and thousands were wounded on Wednesday when police cleared out two protest camps in Cairo set up to denounce the military's overthrow of Egypt's first freely elected president on July 3 and to demand his reinstatement.
The Health Ministry puts the death toll at 578. The Brotherhood says the government is hiding a much bigger number.
Dozens of armoured vehicles will close off streets around part of northeastern Cairo where Islamists had staged protests demanding Mursi's reinstatement, the state news agency said.
Military vehicles manned by soldiers could be seen in central Cairo, where checkpoints with barbed wire were set up.
