From the AP:
Authorities
deployed extra security forces in Cairo streets and near key state
institutions and police were ordered to "confront with firmness" any
violation of the law just hours ahead of the official announcement of
Egypt's highly disputed presidential election results.
The
June 16-17 runoff vote between the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate
Mohammed Morsi and ousted leader Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister,
Ahmed Shafiq, left Egyptians with nerve-wrecking uncertainty as both
candidates claimed victory and the results were delayed.
Both
candidates have rallied supporters to the streets in a show of strength
amid speculations about last-minute backdoor deals between the powerful
ruling generals and the rising Islamists over power-sharing
arrangements.
Anticipation was high and there were fears violence could break out after Sunday's announcement.
