CAIRO (AP) - Egypt's top reform leader has criticized the ruling
military council as having too much power but no experience governing.
Mohamed ElBaradei spoke to reporters on Sunday, a week after more than 20 members of Egypt's Christian minority were killed when the military broke up their protest in Cairo with force. It was the worst bloodshed since Hosni Mubarak's ouster in February.
"We have a (military) council with powers but no experience, and we have a government with no powers but with experience," ElBaradei told a news conference. He urged the military rulers to form an alternative government with much more authority.
ElBaradei also criticizes Egyptian state TV for "lies" and "instigation" in the violence.

morgue of the Copts hospital in Cairo, Egypt. An army crackdown on a
protest that killed more than 20 Christians has not only stunned
Egyptians, it has left them with deeply torn feelings towards the force
seen as the protector of the nation. Even supporters of the ruling
military are grappling with the question of how the bloodshed could have
happened. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra, File)
