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.

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
