Egyptian army permits 'peaceful protest' amid Morsi anger

Egypt's army has said it will guarantee the right to peaceful protest ahead of the traditional day for major rallies. Muslim Brotherhood supporters are expected to rally on Friday after the army deposed President Mohammed Morsi. New interim leader Adly Mahmud Mansour, the top judge of Egypt's constitutional court, has pledged to hold elections based on the "genuine peoples will". A Muslim Brotherhood spokesman said it has refused to co-operate with the new regime. Mr Morsi is in detention, as well as senior figures in the Brotherhood - the Islamist group of which the former president is a member.. Early on Friday, one soldier was reported killed after Islamist militants attacked military and police checkpoints with rockets and mortar fire, according to officials. A total of 50 people have died since the latest unrest began on Sunday.
