Former Egyptian vice president and intelligence chief Omar Suleiman said, Monday, that the Muslim Brotherhood had sent him death threats. Interviewed by the semi-official Al-Ahram daily, the newly-declared presidential candidate said the country's Supreme Military Council had not taken a position on his candidacy.

On Sunday, the Brotherhood said a revolt would take place if Suleiman won the election. Opponents tie him to ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
