Egypt's Brotherhood Names Interim Head after Guide Arrested
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Muslim Brotherhood has named an interim leader to head the group after its supreme guide was arrested Tuesday, the website of its political party said.
"Mahmoud Ezzat, deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, will assume the role of supreme guide of the group on a temporary basis after the security forces of the bloody military coup arrested supreme guide Mohamed Badie," the Freedom and Justice Party website said.
Badie was arrested as the army-installed government cracks down on the Brotherhood, from which ousted president Mohammed Morsi hails.
Dozens of its leaders and members have been rounded up, including Morsi, who has been detained at a secret location since he was pushed from office on July 3 after massive demonstrations against his rule.
He faces allegations related to his 2011 escape from prison as well as new accusations that he incited the death and torture of protesters in December 2012.

My friend, for the last 50 years or so Saudi Arabia has been importing into Saudi and collecting the most radical Islamic "Clerics", or "Men of Cloth" if you want to call them that, under one roof. The explanation they gave back in the 1980s wast that "Saudis just wanted to keep them in a safe environment and safeguard from persecution". I take it back then Mr. Saddam Hussien and/or Hosni Mubarak would not have regarded those types of varmints very kindly. I think they are indeed varmints and evil furthering Saudi agenda. They are not peaceful God loving human beings, and Saudi Arabia is to blame. I also blame the rise of nuclear Iran, which is not a good thing at all, on the Saudis. This issue is cut and dry.
