Egypt MPs say minister must step down over deaths
Egyptian lawmakers blamed the interior minister on Tuesday for the deaths of protesters in five days of street clashes with riot police in Cairo and said it showed his ministry should be purged of remnants of Hosni Mubarak's regime.
Parliament's youth committee "recommended that the interior minister be held responsible for the killing and injuring of the protesters and ask the respected parliament to withdraw confidence from him," said committee head Osama Yassin, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood which dominates the assembly.
