EU warns Cairo over bloodbath

European Union leaders Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso yesterday warned Egypt's army and interim government the bloc would review its ties with the country unless the violence ended.
Further escalation could have "unpredictable consequences" for Egypt and its neighbours, the presidents of the European Council and European Commission said.
The 28-nation bloc would continue efforts to promote an end to violence, resumption of political dialogue, and return to a democratic process, the statement added.
Senior diplomats from the 28 EU nations will hold emergency talks on Egypt today in Brussels in which they are expected to call for a snap meeting of foreign ministers within the next days.
