Ousted President Mohammed Morsi's supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood are calling for mass protests in Egypt, where it's feared there will be clashes between them and soldiers in the streets of Cairo and other cities on Friday.

As The Associated Press writes, "some former militant extremists have vowed to fight." NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, who is in Cairo, tells our Newscast Desk that they plan to march through the city's streets in a "day of rage" to protest both the removal of the president and the arrest of key Brotherhood leaders, including the group's revered Supreme Guide. Authorities accuse them of inciting violence in the days leading up to Morsi's removal.
