Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has called for a revolt against the military after a bloody crackdown on supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi left dozens dead and hundreds wounded.

The Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, called on the Egyptian people to rise against those who want to abduct their revolution with their tanks and armored vehicles, the Washington Times reports.

'Bloodbath!' Gehad El-Haddad, the Muslim Brotherhood spokesman, wrote on Twitter, adding that there have been multiple casualties and hundreds wounded in the clashes.

According to the report, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand imam of the Al-Azhar Mosque and Egypt's top cleric, warned that Egypt risks being engulfed in a civil war.

 

Egypt's Health Ministry said that the violence on Monday left 51 people dead and more than 400 injured.
