Egypt opposition mulls response to Morsi dialogue call

CAIRO: Egypt's main opposition will meet Monday to consider its response to President Mohamed Morsi's call for a national dialogue aimed at ending the crisis gripping the country, an opposition member told AFP.

Egypt plunged into a new crisis after the deaths of 46 people in three days of violence across three provinces, prompting Islamist Morsi late Sunday to impose a month-long state of emergency in the riot-hit regions.
