Egypt prosecutor urges arrest of black-clad hardcore protesters


CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's public prosecutor urged the security forces and members of the public on Tuesday to seize members of a new black-clad group vehemently opposed to President Mohamed Mursi which has emerged among the vanguard of recent protests.

Egypt's army chief has warned political strife was pushing the state to the brink of collapse following a wave of protests in which 52 people have been killed in the last week. Mursi has imposed emergency rule in the Suez Canal cities of Port Said, Ismailia and Suez in an attempt to stem the violence.
