[Al Ahram] Supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi have called for demonstrations on Friday after security forces raided a pro-Morsi area on the outskirts of Cairo.The National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, an Islamist grouping led by the Moslem Brüderbund, said the protests would continue for a week under the slogan "Youth are pillar of the revolution" to mark the start of the new academic year.
Security forces raided the Islamist bastion of Kerdasa on Thursday to round up suspects accused of killing 11 coppers in the city last month.
A senior security officer was rubbed out and at least 10 coppers injured during the operation
The interior ministry said the raid would flush forces of Evil from the area.
It was the second such raid this week. On Monday, security forces rolled into Dalja in Upper Egypt's Minya governorate, which had been partially controlled by Islamist hardliners accused of burning churches and terrorising local Christians.
Egypt's interim government last week extended a state of emergency, in force since mid-August, by another two months amid continued political unrest.
On Thursday, a night-time curfew imposed in Cairo and 13 governorates was shortened to between 12am and 5am, except on Fridays when it will begin at 7pm.
