Egyptian army oust Morsi

The Egyptian Army suspended the Islamist-backed constitution and unveiled a roadmap to meet people's aspirations after the 48-hour army deadline for him expired.

The Egyptian police says it has orders to arrest 300 leaders and members of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.

Security forces have imposed a travel ban on Morsi and other leading figures in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Some members of Morsi's inner circle have also put under house arrest.

The deposed president was under ‘house arrest’ at the presidential Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo.

Egyptian army commander General Abdel Fattah Sisi on state television issued a declaration suspending the Constitution and appointing the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, as interim head of state.

Mansour, 67, would be sworn in on July 4. Mansour was appointed head of court last July.

The move came after Islamist leader refused to quit following the end of a 48-hour deadline set by the army to resolve the political crisis that arose after millions of Egyptian demanding his resignation took to the streets.

Egypt's iconic Tahrir Square, the hub of the anti-Morsi protesters -- erupted into ecstasy as the military announced his outer.

A statement on Morsi's Facebook page denounced the army move as a ‘military coup’.

Egypt's powerful military ousted country's first democratically elected President Mohammed Morsi.
