CAIRO: Egypt's opposition on Saturday threatened to boycott upcoming parliamentary polls if President Mohamed Morsi does not find a "comprehensive solution" to the crisis gripping the country.

The National Salvation Front, the main coalition of parties and movements opposing the ruling Islamists, called for among other things the creation of a "national salvation" government, otherwise it will "not participate in the next parliamentary elections."
