Egypt election: Omar Suleiman criticises Muslim Brotherhood

Egypt's former intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, has strongly criticised the Muslim Brotherhood and insisted he would restore stability as president.
In an interview published in Egyptian newspapers, Gen Suleiman suggested the Islamist group had lost popularity as it sought to monopolise power.
If elected, he promised not to "reinvent" the regime of Hosni Mubarak.
However, the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate said Egyptians would return to the streets if Gen Suleiman won.
"We strongly reject the attempt to reproduce the former regime represented in the person of Major General Omar Suleiman," Khairat al-Shater, who was imprisoned during Mr Mubarak's rule, told reporters.
"This is an insult to the Egyptian revolution and reflects a lack awareness of the nature of change that has happened in the Egyptian people."
