Brüderbund's FJP condemns knife attack on political opponent Dawoud

[Al Ahram] The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) -- the Moslem Brüderbund's political wing -- condemned a knife attack on Constitution Party's front man Khaled Dawoud, one of the Brotherhood's staunch critics.

"The party stresses that it is against any act of violence even if it is against those who supported the coup d'etat," reads a statement that was posted on the FJP's Facebook page hours after the incident.

Dawoud, a former front man for the anti-Morsi bloc the National Salvation Front (NSF), was stabbed in his chest and hand on Friday in central Cairo.

Shortly after the assault, Dawoud told Al-Ahram's Arabic news website that he was attacked by protesters while driving his car down Qasr Al-Aini Street in front of Abou Al-Rish Bridge.

He said his car was attacked and protesters pulled him out of the vehicle, beat him and stabbed him with a knife.

The liberal Constitution Party, for its part, blamed the attack on the Moslem Brüderbund protesters, who were present in Qasr Al-Aini after a failed attempt

to enter Tahrir Square.
