Egypt's Salafis will support Muslim Brotherhood candidate

Egypt's Salafi party Al Nur will support the Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh at the country's presidential election due in late May, The Voice of Russia reported.

Al Nur has the second largest faction in the People's Assembly, the lower house of parliament.

Its own candidate, ultra-conservative Salafi priest Hazem Salah Abu Ismail was disqualified from the presidential race because his mother held U.S. citizenship.
