Egypt runoff exposes tensions between Islamists

By BEN HUBBARD,Associated Press
CAIRO — A runoff Monday for Egypt's first-round parliamentary elections exposed tensions between competing Islamist parties that have so far dominated the vote.

In the southern province of Assiut, supporters of the hardline Islamist Gamaa Islamiya attacked and chased away campaign workers from the Muslim Brotherhood outside a polling station where the two groups were facing off in a vote. Supporters of one Brotherhood candidate said they received death threats and one of their clerics was beaten up by campaign workers of Gamaa Islamiya — an ex-militant group now running a political party.
