埃及政府軍在總統府部署坦克大綱

The Egyptian army has deployed tanks outside the presidential palace in Cairo Thursday following clashes between opponents and supporters of President Mohamed Morsi that have killed five people.

The army has stationed at least five tanks and two other armored vehicles outside the presidential complex. More than 350 people have been injured in the Egyptian capital during the two days of violence.

Reporting from the scene, VOA correspondent Elizabeth Arrott said the violence started Wednesday when Mr. Morsi's Islamist supporters attacked opposition demonstrators angered by the president's decree issued last month.

Arrott said most of the presidential supporters were men with beards, typical of members of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, while opponents of the president appeared younger and included some women.埃及政府軍星期四在開羅總統府外面部署了坦克。在此之前，穆爾西總統的支持者和反對者之間爆發衝突，導致5人死亡。

在總統府外面政府軍至少部署了5輛坦克和兩輛其他裝甲車。在埃及首都兩天來的暴力衝突中，有350多人受傷。

在現場報道的美國之音記者阿洛特說，星期三的衝突是因爲穆爾西的伊斯蘭主義支持者攻擊反對派示威者引起的。示威者因爲穆爾西上個月發佈獨攬大權的政令而憤怒。

阿洛特說，大多數支持總統的人都留着鬍子，而反對穆爾西總統的人都是年輕人和一些婦女。留鬍子是伊斯蘭主義穆斯林兄弟會成員的典型形象。
