It's all the fault of the MB. They brought mass murder

(a very sad good morning Cali )

9:10 a.m. ET Al Jazeera spoke to Mustafa Murad, a journalist with Al-Iqitsadiya:

"Security forces were deployed around the mosque, we were inside the mosque and we tried to exit individually ... we were attacked by large number of thugs, we saw that any person leaving the mosque is assaulted by thugs outside, sometimes tortured then handed to police, and taken away in a vehicle to unknown whereabouts.

After a while we heard heavy gunfire ... we heard that the police was claiming that some of us inside the mosque were firing back at them, but this is not true, we were in no possession of any arms. The police stormed the mosque firing tear gas and firing gunshots on the roof … police fired into the ceiling and part of the roof fell down. We tried to take cover behind the mosque pillars, anything.

Tear gas was fired, we started to get suffocated and we had to leave for fear of being suffocated to death. We were certain the thugs were still waiting for us to attack us ... If we are spared from the bullet we will not be spared from the thugs who were waiting with knives.

Thugs were standing side by side with police and security and they blocked all the exit ways out of the mosque. I asked the police officer: Why are you not protecting us as you promised? They labelled us as enemies of the state… they are misguided radicalized young people, the thugs. We told them we are not a part of any political party, we are part of the Egyptian people.

I am not aware of the number of those who managed to flee the mosque. I heard one man say he was going back in to look for his sister."

The government just broadcast a Press Conference, in English, that was voice-over translated into Arabic. The content was just as chilling as the follow-up questions. The government assured everyone it's being *transparent* (yes, they used that word) and that they're fighting "terrorism" and "terrorists".

Here's a screenshot. It reads "Egypt Fights Terrorism"
