 Mr Mansour was sworn in as interim head of state on Thursday, vowing to safeguard "the spirit of the revolution" which had removed Hosni Mubarak from power in 2011. The interim president, the chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, said he looked forward to parliamentary and presidential elections that would express the “true will of the people.” Mr. Mansour praised the military’s intervention so that Egypt could “correct the path of its glorious revolution.” 
 
 Fighter jets screamed through the Cairo skies, and fireworks burst over huge celebrations in Tahrir Square. But in less than 24 hours after the military’s intervention, prosecutors issued arrest warrants for at least 200 Islamists, most of them members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood's key political strategist, Khairat El-Shater, became the latest senior figure to be arrested since Mursi's removal. Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad said the movement was faced with a crackdown from a state establishment unreformed from the days of Mubarak: "It's the old police state of Mubarak with every ingredient and nightmare that it had before the January 25 revolution. “I was presenting the true picture of his country to the outside world,” he said.
– Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and Mohamed Morsi are fuming over the military's clampdown after Brotherhood leaders were arrested and Morsi detained. Arrest warrants are out for some 300 members of the group, the BBC reports. "What kind of national reconciliation starts with arresting people?" asks the son of a Brotherhood official, per the New York Times. "This is complete exclusion." But the army says it will allow a planned rally today: "Peaceful protest and freedom of expression are rights guaranteed to everyone, which Egyptians have earned as one of the most important gains of their glorious revolution," the army posted on Facebook. As protests have continued, so has violence. Morsi's hometown saw dozens hurt last night, Reuters reports, and the Sinai Peninsula was hit with rocket attacks by Islamist militants. A soldier was killed in the onslaught against police and military sites, though it's not certain the attacks were associated with Morsi's downfall, the BBC notes; Sinai is a frequent target of such violence.
