Egypt has suspended screenings of Lebanese film and pop star Haifa Wehbe's latest movie after criticism over scenes deemed sexually provocative.

Interim premier Ibrahim Mahlab ordered "Halawet Rooh" (Beauty of the Soul) off the screens until Egypt's censorship board reviews it again, the prime minister's office said late Wednesday.

An Egyptian court jailed 120 supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohammed Morsi for three years on Wednesday over clashes that left dozens of people dead last year, officials said.

The trial is part of a relentless crackdown that has targeted Morsi's supporters since the army ousted him in July.

Egypt's leftist leader, the ex-army chief's main rival in next month's presidential election, Wednesday urged all revolutionary groups to unite, as a liberal party threw its weight behind him.

Hamdeen Sabbahi, who has emerged as the main challenger to former field marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the May 26-27 vote, also reiterated that the military should stay out of politics.

Sexual violence against women has been rife since the 2011 uprising in Egypt, where hundreds of female protesters have been the target of attack with apparent impunity, rights groups said Wednesday.

"Successive Egyptian governments have failed to address violence against women, with serious implications for women's participation in the political transition of their country," said a group of rights organizations led by FIDH, the International Federation for Human Rights.

A court jailed a Salafist leader to seven years for fraud Wednesday for keeping his mother's U.S. citizenship secret when filing candidacy papers in Egypt's 2012 presidential election.

The country's electoral law stipulates that a candidate's parents must hold only Egyptian citizenship.

An Egyptian court on Tuesday banned members of ousted President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood from running in upcoming elections, a lawyer and state media said.

Egypt's military-installed authorities are engaged in a deadly crackdown against the Islamist movement, which swept elections in Egypt after the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011 but is now blacklisted as a "terrorist group."

A bomb blast in an upmarket central Cairo district wounded two policemen and a passer-by Tuesday, the latest attack on Egypt's security forces since Islamist president Mohamed Morsi was ousted.

The morning attack blew off the roof of a shelter manned by traffic police at a busy intersection in Al-Galaa Square in the Egyptian capital's Dokki neighborhood.

Egypt's ex-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Monday officially submitted his bid to run for president, with his lawyer handing over the required documents to the authorities, a spokesman said.

Sisi, who is riding on a wave of popularity after ousting Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi in July, is widely expected to win the May 26-27 election.

A huge poster of former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stands tall near Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square, one of thousands that have sprung up across Egypt.

Less than three weeks before the launch of official campaigning for the May 26-27 presidential election, supporters of Field Marshal Sisi, the odds-on favorite, are raring to go.

A crude bomb exploded on Saturday near a newly built hospital just minutes before it was inaugurated by Egypt's health minister, security officials said, adding that there were no casualties.

The device went off in the city of Kaft, 630 kilometers (around 390 miles) south of Cairo, before Adel al-Adawi arrived for the opening, the officials and state television reported.
