Senior Muslim Brotherhood leader arrested in Egypt
None
Egyptian security forces arrested a key Muslim Brotherhood figure on the run since the July coup that toppled the country's Islamist president in a raid on his hideout early Wednesday, the Interior Ministry said.
The arrest of Essam el-Erian, the deputy leader of the Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, was the latest in a wide-ranging crackdown of both the Islamist group's leaders and its rank-and-file members since the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, who also hails from the Brotherhood.
