CAIRO, Jan 25 (Aswat Masriya) - Police forces arrested 73 Muslim Brotherhood supporters in possession of arms and ammunition while they marched in Alexandria on Saturday.
Petrol bombs, jerry cans filled with petrol, leaflets inciting violence, shotguns, and one automatic firearm were found with the arrested demonstrators.
