Egypt arrests Muslim Brotherhood members suspected of planning attacks

Sep 11, 2019

Egyptian police arrested 16 Muslim Brotherhood members on Tuesday accused of smuggling currency and planning attacks in the country.

According to the Interior Ministry, the suspects financially helped other members to coordinate terror attacks in Egypt and help smuggle extremists into Europe with help from members based in Turkey.

Egyptian authorities and Gulf states brand the group a terrorist organisation.

The Muslim Brotherhood's links stretch across the region and beyond, including Qatar, one of the largest financial backers of Muslim Brotherhood organisations around the world, having donated well over $1 billion (Dh3.67bn) in recent years.

Mohammed Morsi, a stalwart of the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood group, collapsed and died in a courtroom in Cairo on June 17.

He was removed from power by the military in July 2013 amid a wave of mass street protests against the Brotherhood and his divisive rule.
