BBC – Egypt says 525 people were killed on Wednesday when security forces stormed Islamist protest camps in Cairo after a stand-off lasting weeks.
Most of the victims died in the capital but there was violence around the country on the bloodiest day since the pro-democracy uprising two years ago.
The final toll is believed far higher as scores of bodies are not registered.
