Egyptian forces raid pro-Morsi town of Kerdasa Egyptian security forces are fighting gunbattles in a town near Cairo after launching an operation targeting "criminal and terrorist hotbeds". At least 28 suspected militants have been held in Kerdasa, state TV says. But several hours after the operation started, security forces were having to take cover from gunfire. Eleven police officers were killed at a police station in Kerdasa last month, weeks after the overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July. Soldiers went into Kerdasa at about 05:30 local time (03:30 GMT), backed by helicopters. bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24156197
