(AFP) <\/p>\n

The European Union has said top officials from its 28 members will meet Monday to review the crisis in Egypt, where a military crackdown has left hundreds dead.<\/p>\n

The meeting will look at the situation in Egypt ahead of a possible meeting of EU foreign ministers, Catherine Ashton\u2019s European External Action Service said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

British, French and German leaders are due to discuss Egypt later Friday amid growing international concern over the military\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

Islamist leaders have called for a \u201cFriday of anger\u201d after nearly 600 people were killed in a crackdown on their protest camps, while the UN has urged \u201cmaximum restraint\u201d from all sides.With the country under a state of emergency, the interior ministry ordered police to use live fire if government buildings came under attack.<\/p>\n
