Egypt intelligence chief for president?
Cairo, 3 Sept-(ANA)-Posters promoting Egypt's intelligence chief as a possible future president have appeared on the streets of Cairo, reports say.
Gen Omar Suleiman, 74, has long been seen as a possible successor to President Hosni Mubarak, but this is the first time his supporters have gone public.
It is not known who is behind this campaign for next year's election, which follows a similar one promoting the president's son, Gamal Mubarak.
President Mubarak, 82, has not said if he plans to run for a sixth term.
Speculation over who should succeed Mr Mubarak - Egypt's ruler of nearly 30 years - gained pace after he had surgery earlier this year, raising concerns over his health. (ANA)
