(Reuters) - Security forces cleared a Cairo mosque after a gunbattle with followers of the Muslim Brotherhood on Saturday, while Egypt's army-backed government, facing deepening chaos, considered banning the Islamist group.
Three Reuters witnesses saw gunmen shoot from a window of the al-Fath mosque, where supporters of deposed president Mohamed Mursi had taken shelter
Another gunman was shown on television shooting from the mosque's minaret and soldiers outside
It was not clear if anyone died in the clashes - the fourth day of violence in Egypt, which has killed almost 800 people. Troubles were also reported in the second city Alexandria, where an office run by the Muslim Brotherhood was set ablaze.
With anger rising on all sides, Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi proposed disbanding the Brotherhood, raising the stakes in a bloody struggle between the state and Islamists for control of the Arab world's most populous nation.
"We are not facing political divisions, we are facing a war being waged by extremists developing daily into terrorism," presidential political adviser Mostafa Hegazy told reporters.
"We will win this war not only with security procedures, but according to the law and within the framework of human rights."
If Beblawi's proposal to disband the Brotherhood is acted on, it would force the group underground and could herald large-scale arrests against its members placed outside the law.
Many Western allies have denounced the recent wave of killings, including the United States, alarmed by the mayhem in a country which has a strategic peace treaty with Israel and operates the Suez Canal, a major artery of global trade.
However, Saudi Arabia threw its weight behind the army-backed government on Friday, accusing its old foes in the Muslim Brotherhood of trying to destabilize Egypt.

If the MB takes power, the will kill the generals. The generals know this.
The MB needs to die.
shooting from inside the mosque, out the windows and from the tower ... wonder which side that was
sarc
While I know there’s a discussion about whether Morsi got coup’d, coo’d, koo’d, kooked or whatever I see it a litle differently. I say that he got “impeached”. He was removed from power for violating his oath to the constitution he was elected under. Listening, Obamuzzie?-————————Morsi is a traitor in liar’s clothing and hanging is about the right fix for his traitorous wagon——after he’s used as bait to smoke out his friends, of course.
Late last night (noon their time) the Chicoms had a more detailed story on the fight at this mosque. The MB’s were using it as a morgue, had bodies lined up trying to identify them. The Army didn’t want them to get the bodies ready for a parade so they ran off the MB’s and confiscated the bodies. Brought a couple dumptrucks over and hauled the stiffs to a cooler. That’s one bunch of dead muzzies that’s not going to meet their sundown burial time-—probably keeping a herd of virgin billygoats waiting at the altar. Wonder if the virgins are pre-earmarked for a special muzzie or if they take a number as they come?
That many virgins in heaven must mean these folks kill them off early for specious reasons....
Just like Syria - let them fight until there’s only two guys left, them kill both of them.
Highlander...there can be only one
but a funny thing happened on the way to his dictatorship......some people woke up....
will we wake up?
