The Egyptian authorities detained 22 Brotherhood

members and charged

them for making an effort to revive the activities of the banned group. The General

Guide of the Brotherhood

expressed his surprise at such detentions and said that nothing happened on the

part of the Brotherhood to harm the

security of the country. On the other hand, America included the Muslim

Brotherhood on its list of terrorist

organizations after asking Italy to detain the founder of al-Taqwa

Bank.
