Egypt imposes curfew, deploys army after protests

None

Egypt's military rulers on Saturday imposed an overnight curfew and deployed soldiers around the Defense Ministry to deter a repeat of Friday's deadly violence, less than three weeks before a presidential vote.

 

One soldier died and almost 400 people were wounded in Friday's clashes, the second time in a week that protests over the army's handling of Egypt's troubled transition from army rule to civilian government have turned violent. (Reuters)
