The Muslim Brotherhood has accused the Egyptian military of carrying out a massacre after at least 34 people were killed when the army and security forces opened fire on supporters of Mohamed Morsi during dawn prayers this morning.

Victims of the shooting, which took place at a pro-Morsi protest in eastern Cairo, were being rushed to nearby hospitals this morning.

At a field clinic close to the scene, one doctor told the Independent that he had seen eleven bodies. The victims had been shot in the head, neck and chest, he added.

As he spoke another victim was rushed in on a stretcher, his bare chest drenched in blood. The man groaned in pain as medics hurriedly patched him up with bandages. A doctor said he had been shot in the head.
