CAIRO, May 05, 2012 (AFP) - Egypt's military prosecution on Saturday ordered 300 people be detained over deadly clashes between troops and anti-military protesters in Cairo, a military source told AFP.
The 300, including nine journalists, "will be held for 15 days pending investigation" into clashes in the Abbassiya district on Friday that left two people, including a soldier, dead and at least 300 injured, the source said.
A security official confirmed the number and said more arrests could be made on Saturday.
