Egypt army apologises for protest deaths

Egypt's ruling military has apologised for the deaths of protesters in clashes with police, as unrest in Cairo and other cities enters its sixth day. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) said it regretted "the deaths of martyrs from among Egypt's loyal sons". The unrest, which began on Friday, comes days before the first elections since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted. At least 35 people have died. Protesters have rejected a pledge to speed up transition to civilian rule. They have vowed to continue their protest until the country's military rulers stand down. Add your comment
