<!-- google_ad_section_start --> CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities are considering disbanding the Muslim Brotherhood group, a government spokesman said Saturday, once again outlawing a group that held the pinnacle of government power just more than a month earlier.
The announcement comes after security forces broke up two sit-in protests this week by those calling for the reinstatement of President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader deposed in a July 3 coup. The clashes killed more than 600 people that day and sparked protests and violence that killed 173 people Friday alone.
Cabinet spokesman Sherif Shawki said that Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who leads the military-backed government, assigned the Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate.
The Muslim Brotherhood group, founded in 1928, came to power a year ago when its Morsi was elected in the country's first free presidential elections. The election came after the overthrow of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising in 2011.
The fundamentalist group has been banned for most of its 80-year history and repeatedly subjected to crackdowns under Mubarak's rule. While sometimes tolerated and its leaders part of the political process, members regularly faced long bouts of imprisonment and arbitrary detentions.

Since Morsi was deposed in the popularly backed military coup, the Brotherhood stepped up its confrontation with the new leadership, holding sit-ins in two encampments for weeks, rallying thousands and vowing not to leave until Morsi is reinstated.
On Wednesday, security authorities swept through the two protest camps, leaving hundreds killed and thousands others injured. The violent crackdown sparked days of street violence across the country where Islamist supporters stormed and torched churches and police stations.
In the most recent standoff, Egyptian security forces exchanged heavy gunfire Saturday with armed men at top of a minaret of a Cairo mosque. The security forces fired tear gas, stormed the mosque and rounded up hundreds of Islamists supporters of Morsi who had been barricaded inside overnight.
The confrontations Friday — around a Brotherhood call for a "Day of Rage" — killed at least 173 people, said Shawki, the Cabinet spokesman. He said 1,330 people were wounded in the protests.
Egypt's Interior Ministry said in a statement that a total of 1,004 Brotherhood members were detained in raids across the country and that weapons, bombs and ammunition were confiscated with the detainees.-

They can outlaw it but if they do not hunt them down and execute them they will reap the fruits of a very bitter harvest in the future!! Those kind of murdering scum do not forgive, forget or reform their ways! As brutal as it may seem to do that we must remember just how brutal the MB IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Cutting off a gangrene foot is far better than the patient dying. Egypt will have to face that reality! If they do not any government they put into place now will surely be only a temporary one. -Tyr

The brotherhood was only recently (a few years ago) taken off the terrorist list and many of the leaders spent many years in prison for their membership. We are now seeing the results of the old ...let em loose, they aren't so bad mentality. Mubarak might have been a ruthless dictator, but in the case of the brotherhood, he had it right.

So the brotherhood will be outlawed.....Again.

If they do not hunt them down to dispatch them the coming crop of MB replacements will grow exceedingly fast and the retribution will come much sooner and be far deadlier IMHO. THIS IS A REAL AND RARE CASE WHERE EXTERMINATION IS CALLED FOR. That reality may not set well with folks but it is still a reality that should not be ignored. If they ignore it they will all be murdered in the future by those rapidly inspired replacements. These are terrorist murdering scum so why treat them as if they are decent people? Mubarak had it right but did not choose to totally eliminate them.. My guess is that he too was far too lenient on them. -Tyr

Seems Egypt's military is catching some 'high value' targets:

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri's younger brother arrested in Egypt, sources sayBy Ayman Mohyeldin, Correspondent, NBC News


CAIRO - The brother of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri has been arrested by police in Egypt, security sources said Saturday.


Mohammed al-Zawahri, the younger brother of the terror network leader, was detained at a checkpoint in the Cairo suburb of Giza, the sources said.


He has been a vocal supporter of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement and the more extreme group to which he belongs, Al Gama'a Al Islamiya.


The arrest of the younger al-Zawahri came as more than 1,000 Brotherhood supporters and others opposed to the military's overthrow of Islamist Morsi were detained Friday as mass protests turned violent.


Mohammed al-Zawahri was transferred from a police station to a maximum security prison out of concern his supporters would attempt to free him from the police station, the sources said. Police stations have been coming under attack in recent days.

We should all remember. Also, a few years ago during our election cycles. The Muslim Brotherhood also supported the re-election of their Wannabe, American-martyr....Barrack H. Obama.

Just think about HOW the Muslim Brotherhood managed to succeed so far in Egypt. And who played such a big part in removing the former President?
Anyone want to guess?
