Morsi Protesters Refuse to Quit Supporters of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi refused to leave their sit-in demonstration on Sunday, even though dozens were killed in clashes on Saturday—and an interior minister warned that the protesters will be dispersed "soon." The health ministry has estimated that 78 people were killed, although doctors at the scene put the number closer to 100. The government has denied opening fire on Saturday, saying only tear gas was used. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said the protesters should "come to their senses" and leave, since a lawsuit has been filed by residents near the mosque for their removal. Saturday's clashes appear to have been started after the pro-Morsi supporters attempted to extend their protest site's barricades, causing a response from security forces.

The bus, reportedly traveling "at a high speed," careened off an exit ramp on I-465 and landed on its side. "It kind of pivoted on the nose of the bus and did a little bit of a twist," said witness Carol Albright. "How it didn't hit another car, I don't know." Most of the injured were teenagers, but a toddler was also taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition. Indianapolis public safety director Troy Riggs said there would be an "exhaustive investigation" into what happened. Read it at Indianapolis Star DEADLY Toxic Alcohol Kills 18 In Pakistan.
