Egypt: Army reinforces bases for protests
None
Security officials say the military has brought in reinforcements of troops and armor to bases near Egyptian cities ahead of planned June 30 protests to force the Islamist president out. Officials say Wednesday's deployments are restricted to the outskirts of major cities and inside existing military facilities. In Cairo, the focus of Sunday's protests, the extra troops went to major bases to the east and west.
The protests mark President Mohammed Morsi's first year in office. Army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has given Morsi and the opposition a week to reach an understanding. (AP)
