Egyptian security forces storm Islamist-controlled town

Egyptian security forces stormed a town controlled by supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi on Monday and arrested 56 residents as part of a crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood, officials said.

The forces entered the town of Delga, in Minya province about 300 km (190 miles) south of Cairo, early on Monday, clearing barricades that had been erected by the Mursi supporters, security officials said. (Reuters)
