BEIJING, May 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Protesters have ransacked the campaign headquarters of Egyptian presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq.
Several hundred people descended on the offices, smashing windows, defacing posters and setting the building on fire. No one was hurt in the fray.
Shafiq supporters are blaming members of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood for the attack. The Brotherhood candidate, Mohammed Morsi, is set to go head-to-head against Shafiq in the June presidential runoff.
