"Britons arriving home after fleeing escalating violence in Egypt described Cairo as a war zone with marauding thugs and escaped prisoners terrorising the streets.
"Some of the 161 passengers arriving last night at Gatwick Airport on a Foreign Office-chartered flight spoke of their relief at escaping the riot-hit city.
"Among those fleeing the violence was 16-year-old Shukria Ahmed-Nur who told how marauding thugs terrorised the streets near where she lived."
