A protester, opposing Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, holds a book titled "President Mursi Building a New Egypt" in front of the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo's Moqattam district. The Brotherhood said armed men who ransacked its national headquarters had crossed a red line of violence, and the movement was considering action to defend itself. Hundreds of people threw petrol bombs and rocks at the building, which caught fire as guards and Brotherhood members inside the building exchanged gunfire with attackers.

Mohamed Hani was shot dead by unknown gunmen who ambushed his car in the Sinai Peninsula town of El Arish on Saturday, security sources and state media said. Photograph: Asmaa Waguih/Reuters
