They are charged with inciting Mondays deadly violence in the capital, in which more than 50

Brotherhood supporters, a soldier and two policemen died.

The Brotherhood says the army fired on peaceful demonstrators and it is accusing the interim

authorities of a cover up.

The military, however, says soldiers acted in self-defence after being attacked by armed

assailants.

Many Brotherhood members are already in detention and warrants are said to have been

issued for hundreds more.

Correspondents say the new warrants could scupper any attempts to persuade the Brotherhood

banned for decades under former President Hosni Mubarak to participate in the transitional

political process.

The timetable for new elections was announced in a constitutional declaration by interim

President Adly Mansour on Monday evening. It laid out plans to set up a panel to amend the

suspended constitution within 15 days.

The changes would then be put to a referendum to be organised within four months which

would pave the way for parliamentary elections, possibly in early 2014.

Once the new parliament convenes, elections will be called to appoint a new president.

The Brotherhood has rejected the transition plan, and its political wing the Freedom and

Justice Party (FJP) has said it will turn down a post in the cabinet being formed by the interim

Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi.

Mr Beblawi said on Thursday that he had still not ruled out offering posts to the FJP.

I dont look at political association, he told the AFP news agency.

Im taking two criteria for the next government. Efficiency and credibility.

The main liberal opposition coalition, the National Salvation Front (NSF), and the grassroots

Tamarod protest movement, which co-ordinated the anti-Morsi protests, said they were not

consulted on the constitutional decree and have concerns about it.
