Some 34 supporters of president Mohammed Morsi, who were carrying out protests in front of the state institutions after the morning prayer, were killed by military in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, Al Jazeera channel reported on Monday.

Egyptian army claims that those killed were the members of a terrorist group that was planning attacks on state institutions. Some 300 also reported injured.

The demonstrators, who are dissatisfied with Morsi's dismissal from power are intending to continue the protests.

Last Wednesday, the Egyptian military suspended the Constitution's activity, ousted the President Mohamed Morsi, who faced unprecedented protests, and promised to hold early elections of a new president. Egyptian islamists do not recognize these decisions and demand the return of power to the legally elected president.
