Egyptian army chief, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who resigned to contest for
presidential election, has vowed that the banned Muslim Brotherhood
group 'will not exist', should he win.
In his first interview with Egyptian TV, al-Sisi added that two assassination plots against him had been uncovered. According to the BBC, he is widely expected to win the presidential election on 26-27 May.
