Egypt army chief says 'there's room for all in country'

Egypt's army chief, General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, has said that his message to the supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi is that 'there is room for everyone'.

He also urged them to help rebuild the democratic path and integrate in the political process.

According to the BBC, later, at least 36 detained members of the Muslim Brotherhood were killed when they tried to escape during their transfer to a prison outside Cairo.

In a speech to army and police officers on Sunday, al- Sisi warned that the military would not allow further violence after the latest unrest, the report said.

But he also appeared to strike a conciliatory tone towards his opponents, urging them to join in the political process.
