Mohamed Morsi approves martial law in Egypt, state media reports

Mohamed Morsi approves martial law in Egypt, state media reports

http://articles.timesofindia.indiati...lamist-leaders

".........Morsi has not yet issued the order, the flagship state newspaper Al Ahram reported. But even if merely a threat, the preparation of the measure suggested an escalation in the political battle between Egypt's new Islamist leaders and their secular opponents over an Islamist-backed draft constitution.............."

&

"........... A short time later, a military spokesman read a statement over state television echoing the report of the president's order. The military "realizes its national responsibility for maintaining the supreme interests of the nation and securing and protecting the vital targets, public institutions, and the interests of the innocent citizens," the spokesman said.

Expressing "sorrow and concern" over recent developments, the military spokesman warned of "divisions that threaten the state of Egypt.".............."

Hmmmm, Interesting.
