Fierce fighting in Cairo as protests continue:

Supporters and opponents of ousted Egyptian president engage in running street battles on capital's 6th October Bridge.

Which raises the interesting question why, on Friday afternoon in a predominantly Muslim country, the army released the Brotherhood leaders from custody, and initially withdrew from the streets ..

The Military wants to scare the "liberals" into supporting them as a bulwark against the Muslim Brotherhood's reaction. Perhaps to imply a "Military Dictatorship or Islamic State" dichotomy. Kind of like the narrative used in Assad's propaganda in Syria.
