Egyptian security forces storm Islamist-controlled town

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian security forces stormed a town controlled by supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi on Monday and arrested 56 residents as part of a crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood, officials said.

The forces entered the town of Delga in Minya province, about 300 km (190 miles) south of Cairo, early in the morning, clearing barricades that had been erected by the Mursi supporters, security officials said.
