CAIRO (AFP) - Unknown attackers on Monday set fire to the headquarters of one of Egypt's run-off presidential candidates, former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq, an AFP journalist said.

An annex of Shafiq's headquarters in Cairo was ablaze late Monday. Shafiq is to face the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi in the second round of the election in June.
