Cairo's Al-Azhar tunnel to close on Friday over protests Local governor announces closure of Al-Azhar tunnel to 'prevent acts of vandalism' at planned Salafist protests
Al-Azhar tunnel, a major route in central Cairo, will be closed on Friday due to planned Salafist protests. The 2.6 km tunnel is the longest in Cairo, carrying thousands of cars every day. Cairo governor Galal El-Saeed said the closure was for security reasons and to prevent acts of vandalism inside the tunnel. The Salafist Front has called for an "uprising of Muslim youth" to "impose the Islamic identity without disguise." It will also demand the imposition of Islamic law, and the reinstatement of deposed president Mohamed Morsi. Increased security measures will be taken in response to the protests, the interior ministry and the army said. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/116599.aspx
