“The Muslim Brotherhood has always been against the revolution while the Salafists have always been rejecting revolts against rulers…black flags were raised in the sit-in of al-‘Abbāssīyah a couple of weeks ago to indicate that al-Qā’idah entered Egypt, which has not taken place so far. However, al-Qā’idah might move its activities in Egypt if the Muslim Brotherhood and April 6 Movement did not stop their follies against the Egyptian people,” said Dr. Ayman al-Fāyīd, a former media advisor for al-Qā’idah (The Base) in a statement.

“Each one who carried a black flag in al-‘Abbāssīyah has been spotted by the Egyptian intelligence service, which is a strong proof belying attempts by the Muslim Brotherhood to frame al-Qā’idah of acts of violence in Egypt and mislead the Egyptian security apparatus to fend suspicions off themselves,” said Fāyīd.

He expected “disasters in Egypt by the Brotherhood” if their candidate Muhammad Mursī did not win the elections now that the Egyptian people will not vote for them again. [Muhammad Fū’ād, Rose al-Yūsuf newspaper, May 27, p. 1] Read original text in Arabic
