Kerry: Muslim Brotherhood 'stole' Egypt revolution
Secretary of State John Kerry is accusing Egypt's well-organized Muslim Brotherhood of having "stolen" the revolution that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Speaking on Wednesday to leaders of multinational US firms, Kerry said the Islamist group had appropriated the revolt against Mubarak from young people who started it in large part through social media. Kerry said their use of web-based technology "drove that revolution."
But then, he said, it "got stolen by the one single-most organized entity in the state, which was the Brotherhood." (AP)
