The Ministry of Interior released a statement on Friday in which it declared that it arrested 13 Muslim Brotherhood members, allegedly affiliated with the group’s military wing, while they were holding a meeting in an educational centre in Alexandria. According to the statement, the police raid against the centre in Alexandria came after security forces received information that they were planning to hold meetings for the sake of restructuring the brotherhood’s military wing. Kamal, 61, a senior leader of the brotherhood was killed at his residence at the beginning of October, during a raid conducted by interior ministry forces. Kamal was accompanied by a teacher named Yasser Shehata, who was also killed in the incident. Recently, the ministry executed numerous raids against what it called stationing points for brotherhood gatherings, where it either arrested or engaged in heavy shootings with the targeted members that caused many deaths among those targeted.
