Ex-presidential hopeful Bothaina Kamel attacked by 'Morsi supporters' Pro-Morsi demonstrations smash the windows of former presidential hopeful Bothaina Kamel and assault her physically, she alleged Sunday
Former presidential runner Bothaina Kamel was attacked Sunday by what she described as Muslim Brotherhood supporters, she told Aswat Masriya. Kamel says she had the windows of her car smashed before being physically assaulted by a group of bearded men, some of which carried the yellow flags used by supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi. The attack happened when she was passing through Giza's Dokki district, a site of previous clashes. Kamel has been an active opponent of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. She was also an opponent of military rule following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in 2011 and ran in the 2012 presidential elections. Rallies took a violent turn in Dokki where police fired rounds of teargas after local residents clashed during pro-Morsi protests heading towards Tahrir Square, eyewitnesses and Ahram Online reporters said. Clashes also broke out in several other locations across Egypt Sunday, on the 40th anniversary of the 6 October War of 1973.The military planned celebrations while Morsi supporters called for fresh rallies. On Friday, former spokesperson of the National Salvation Front (NSF) and spokesperson of the Constitution Party, Khaled Dawoud, was stabbed by Morsi supporters in his chest and wrists. He said he was attacked by protesters supporting Morsi while driving his car down Qasr El-Aini Street in front of Abou Al-Rish Bridge. Egypt has been gripped by prolonged violence since the military overthrow of Morsi 3 July after mass demonstrations against his turbulent year in office. The ouster of the former president enraged Islamists, who have denounced the move as a violation of democratic "legitimacy." Hundreds were killed 14 August when security forces moved to forcibly disperse two protest camps set up by Morsi loyalists in Cairo and Giza, unleashing days of violent turmoil and deepening polarisation. Militants elsewhere have taken up arms against the state. The army has been battling an insurgency in Sinai, adjoining Israel and the Palestinian Gaza Strip, where Islamist militants have mounted almost daily attacks on security and army targets, killing dozens. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/83353.aspx
