Morsi: Egypt's Brotherhood Wants No Violence
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi said on Friday his movement wanted neither "confrontation nor violence," as the country nervously awaits the results of a divisive election.
Morsi spoke after the ruling military warned that it would deal "firmly" with any attempt to harm the public interest as thousands of people packed Cairo's Tahrir Square accusing it of a power grab.
He has claimed victory in a run-off against ex-prime minister Ahmed Shafiq, who has said he will be the next president.
The official results are yet to be announced.
