Egypt's army rulers hike tone against protesters
None
Egypt's ruling military has escalated its tone against pro-democracy activists, warning of an attempt to "topple the state" as government media said a plot had been uncovered to use upcoming protests to throw the country into a civil war.
Wednesday's statements stepped up a campaign by the military that has seemed intended to demonize protesters in the eyes of the Egyptian public. The warnings could signal a heavier crackdown on activists who demand that the generals who took power after the fall of Hosni Mubarak in February step down to let civilians rule. (AP)
