Interim leader promises parliamentary elections in Egyptian violence

Egypt's interim president promised to hold parliamentary elections within a six-month transitional period on Monday after more than 50 supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi were killed and 435 others injured in clashes with the army, SIA reports citing foreign press.

Military-backed interim leader Adly Mansour late Monday decreed a six-month transition and said parliamentary elections would be held within that period.

The violence in the restive country erupted outside the headquarters of the elite Republican Guard, where Morsi was first detained last week.

The Muslim Brotherhood said those killed were mostly supporters of Morsi and accused Egyptian security forces of firing on protesters during dawn prayers.
