Egypt: Military coup underway – National Security Advisor


The national security advisor for embattled Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi warned Wednesday that a military coup was underway in the country, as the armed forces and Islamist president refused to back down on Wednesday as a deadline for an army takeover passed with rival demonstrators out in force in the streets of Cairo.

Military chiefs, vowing to restore order in a country racked by protests over Morsi’s Islamist policies, issued a call to battle in a statement headlined “The Final Hours”. They said they were willing to shed blood against “terrorists and fools” after Morsi refused to give up his elected office.
