Islamists urge protesters to avoid Cairo's Tahrir

AFP, Cairo
An Islamist alliance urged its supporters to stay away from Cairo's Tahrir Square during protests yesterday to avoid more bloodshed after a week in which nearly 80 Egyptians were killed.
The interior ministry warned the Islamists that it will "confront any attempts to break the legitimacy" of the interim government.
The Anti-Coup Alliance, which rejects Egypt's military-installed government, said the "coup regime is shedding blood without any respect to law or values adopted by our great people".
"So the alliance is calling for marchers to avoid places of bloodshed, be it Tahrir or other squares," said a statement from the group which demands the reinstatement of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
It said its appeal follows calls by several intellectuals and political forces as marches to the iconic square "will lead to more bloodshed".
The alliance had repeatedly called on its supporters to march yesterday towards Tahrir, the main symbol of the Arab Spring-inspired uprising that toppled former strongman Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
"We are just limiting our marches" yesterday, the alliance said, adding it reserves "the right to protest in all squares including Tahrir, Rabaa and Nahda in the com ing weeks".
Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares were sites of a brutal crackdown by security forces on Morsi's supporters on August 14. Hundreds of people were killed in some of the worst carnage in Egypt's modern history.
"The decision was taken to calm things down after
what happened on October 6," said Tareq Hussein of the Youth Against Coup group, a member of the alliance.
On Sunday fierce clashes erupted when security forces prevented Islamists from trying to reach Tahrir Square where supporters of the military were celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Arab-Israeli war.
At least 48 people were killed in those clashes, and nine others died in similar fighting in other parts of the country.
"We are just holding our breath after Sunday's massacre. The challenge to the coup is still on and this is a battle to break the will of the coup," Hussein told AFP.
The interior ministry warned Islamists that it had deployed security reinforcements in Tahrir Square and streets around it and near the US embassy in central Cairo.
