Tens of thousands of Islamists streamed the Nile River bridge toward Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday, threatening a showdown moments after the top leader of the Muslim Brotherhood defiantly spoke before a cheering crowd of supporters, vowing to reinstate ousted President Mohammed Morsi and end military rule.
Several protesters were reported killed after Egyptian soldiers opened fire on Morsi supporters, who had marched on the nearby headquarters of the Republican Guard after midday prayers.
