Egypt's Political Future in Question Again



Both candidates have claimed victory in the Egyptian presidential run-off. Muslim Brotherhood supporters, at this writing, are celebrating in Tahrir Square. The opposition, Ahmed Shafiq's campaign, said he was ahead "beyond all doubt," and have accused the Brotherhood of trying to create a "fait accompli."

Official election results are not due until Thursday. Complete story at http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/middle-east-live/2012/jun/18/egypt-election-muslim-brotherhood-claims-victory-live?newsfeed=true
