Egyptian Islamists call for intifada

"Salafi Jihad issued a call to "intifada", a "clarion call for Islamic revolution".

"Anyone who knows an advocate or a sheikh or a revolutionary should call him to urge him to mobilise," a statement said.

There has already been an upsurge in militant violence since the generals ousted Mr Morsi, particularly in Sinai, long a hotbed of jihadist activity.

Intelligence reports have warned of a build-up of weapons, some stolen from Gaddafi arms stores in Libya, some headed for Gaza but held up by the block on smugglers' tunnels."
