Egypt’s military-backed rulers early Tuesday have arrested the Muslim Brotherhood group spiritual leader.
The arrest of Mohammed Badie, the supreme leader of the Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which ousted president Mohammed Morsi hails followed a chaotic day of bloodshed that saw 25 policemen killed in a militant ambush in Sinai and a court ruling announcing the possibility that the jailed ex-president Hosni Mubarak could walk free later this week.
Mubarak’s release could fuel the unrest rocking the country after Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically elected president was removed in a military coup on July 3.
