CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt celebrated the army's 2013 overthrow of an Islamist president with a new national holiday on Thursday, a day that also saw a series of deadly militant attacks in Sinai and clashes with smugglers near the nation's porous border with Libya.
In Cairo, warplanes flew overhead in honor of the holiday as supporters of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi - who as defense minister led the ouster of Mohammed Morsi three years ago - planned rallies later in the day.

The Muslim Brotherhood is still outlawed in Egypt. And Egyptians support that banning.
That's it -- rub Obama's face in it!
Yes, Egypt is right on this call. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. And Obama and Erdogan both protected MB Terrorists and ISIS.
I’ve been invited to visit Egypt — got some friends who go there regularly.
Seeing the pyramids would be such a thrill, but as a 20-something blonde American Christian woman I have some misgivings. And that’s about the TSA (half kidding).
Haven’t said no yet, though I probably will have to take a rain check.
And it rarely rains in Cairo. :(
Yes, I think Egypt is still a dangerous place. Especially for young Christian women. Al Sisi has restored order, but it is my understanding that those abusive instincts are still very present there. It is not accepted as normal or acceptable, but it still is there.
My Egyptian friends are honest about it, but think the danger is over rated. I’m not sure.
