Egypt: Presidential candidates suspend their campaign amid deadly clashes

At least 20 people were killed Wednesday in Cairo in clashes between anti-government protesters and attackers. Following these violent clashes, several leading presidential candidates decided to suspend their campaign.

Both sides hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at each other for hours, while civilians were beaten with iron bars on the street. Gunshots were also reported.

The army and riot police have set up a security cordon to separate the two camps in the area of Abbassiya district, near the Ministry of Defense.
