Cairo (ANTARA News/AFP) - Egypt`s opposition Muslim Brotherhood said on Thursday it "categorically rejects" an offer of dialogue with the state, as deadly anti-government protests raged for a tenth day.

"The Muslim Brotherhood categorically rejects any dialogue with the regime without any hesitation," spokesman Mohammed Mursi said in a statement on the group`s website, in response to an offer by Vice President Omar Suleiman.

Suleiman had said the group had not yet decided whether it would accept the talks."The people have brought down the regime and we see no point in any dialogue with an illegitimate regime," he said.(*)
