A newly formed Islamist group is threatening to use violence to impose Sharia law on Egypt after branding the army's ousting of the Muslim president a declaration of war on its faith.
Ansar al-Shariah in Egypt said it would gather arms and start training its members, in a statement posted on an online forum for militants in the country's Sinai region yesterday and recorded by the SITE Monitoring organisation.
The army's move, which was backed by mass rallies across Egypt, has raised fears Islamists could desert officially-recognised groups like Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and move to more militant movements.
The group's sinister declaration came as fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of the ousted president overnight left a reported 36 dead and at least 1,079 injured.
