CAIRO, July 5 (Reuters) - The leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, was attending a protest rally in Cairo on Friday and would address it shortly, the movement's political wing said in a statement.

The rally, near a mosque in suburban Cairo, was attended by thousands of Islamist supporters.
