Egypt says security forces control one protest camp
Online Edition
Egypt's interior ministry said security forces have "total control" over the smaller of two protest camps in an operation today to clear away supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi.
Al-Nahda Square was "totally under control" and "police forces have managed to remove most of the tents in the square," the ministry said.
A security official told AFP that dozens of Morsi supporters had been arrested with the help of residents from the area.
Television footage showed protesters who had been rounded up sitting in the ground handcuffed and surrounded by security forces.
Families, who included children, were seen being escorted out of the square by police.
