Egyptians Support President’s Dismissal Of Defense Minister

Thousands of supporters celebrate with a poster of Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in Tahrir Square, birthplace of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak 18 months ago, in Cairo late Sunday, Aug. 12, 2012. Morsi ordered the retirement of the defense minister and chief of staff on Sunday and made the boldest move so far to seize back powers that the military stripped from his office right before he took over. Arabic reads: “We are all with you.” <AP/NEWSis>
