Army chief el Sisi called on the US to do more to have the Muslim Brotherhood end their protests. An army source said 60 militants have been killed in recent operations in the Sinai, including 30 Palestinians. Another source claimed that a “majority” of the militants in the Sinai have been arrested by authorities. An attack by militants in el Arish left at least one policeman wounded. Al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri issued a statement condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and saying that their ouster showed that democracy is corrupt.
