CAIRO, Qahirah (AFP) - At least 124 people were killed Wednesday in Cairo as police moved in to disperse two protest camps set up by supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, an AFP correspondent said.

The correspondent who counted the bodies in three morgues at Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque said many appeared to have died from gunshot wounds.
