Egypt's army says “will guarantee right to peaceful protest” amid Morsi anger July 5, 2013 - 12:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Egypt's army has said it will guarantee the right to peaceful protest ahead of the traditional day for major rallies, BBC News reported. Muslim Brotherhood supporters are expected to rally on Friday, July 5 after the army deposed President Mohammed Morsi. New interim leader Adly Mahmud Mansour, the top judge of Egypt's constitutional court, has pledged to hold elections based on "the genuine people's will". Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad al-Haddad said it refused to co-operate with the new regime. Morsi is in detention, as well as senior figures in the Brotherhood - the Islamist group of which the former president is a member. Hundreds more are being sought. Early on Friday, one soldier was reported killed after Islamist militants attacked military and police checkpoints in the Sinai Peninsula with rockets and mortar fire. Security checkpoints at al-Arish airport, near the border with Israel and the Gaza Strip, and a police station in Rafah were targeted, officials said. Sinai has seen a series of militant attacks on security installations and oil pipelines over the past two years and it is unclear whether the latest attacks are linked to President Morsi's removal.
