Egypt: Opponents Refuse President Morsi Talks

The main opposition group in Egypt says it will not take part in talks with the country's president aimed at ending unrest.

Ahmed Said, one of the leading members of the National Salvation Front, said the coalition had rejected a dialogue with Mohamed Morsi.

In a televised address, the president offered a meeting to discuss how Egypt should move forward after a referendum on a new constitution set for December 15.

Prominent reformist Mohamed ElBaradei also urged politicians to shun the talks, while the state news agency reported that the liberal Wafd party said it would not take part. Both are members of the Front.

The call for talks came amid the worst violence seen in the country since last year's revolution.

Opponents of Mr Morsi have taken to the streets in their thousands to protest against a decree by Mr Morsi on November 22, giving himself extra powers and protecting himself from judicial review.

Hundreds of Egyptians have been injured in clashes in Cairo

At least six people were killed and almost 700 injured in clashes around the presidential palace on Wednesday.

US President Barack Obama called Mr Morsi on Thursday to express his "deep concern" about the deaths and injuries.

He welcomed the offer of talks but warned they should be entered into "without preconditions", a White House spokesman said.
