Egypt Arrests 52 Muslim Brotherhood Accused In Plot To Overthrow Governmen

[demdave]

Prosecutors have indicted 52 members of the Muslim Brotherhood for sending men to Iraq, Chechnya and the Palestinian territories to undergo training to overthrow the Egyptian government.

Forty-six of the indicted members were arrested in various parts of Egypt on Sunday and are now in detention for 15 days investigation. The remaining six members are still at large, a security official said on Tuesday.

The security official, who spoke on the customary condition of anonymity, said the indictment states that as part of a plan to establish an Islamic state in Egypt, "they sent some Brothers to Palestine, Iraq and Chechnya to train for military operations".

A lawyer for the detainees, Abd Al-Munaim Abd Al-Maksud, rejected as false both the charge of sending men abroad for military training and the trying to overthrow the government to establish an Islamic state.

1. "Palestine, Iraq and Chechnya"

Tsk.
Left out Iran, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria.
Oh, and N. Korea. Hmmm. I guess Libya is not a terrorist
training destination anymore. And, of course, Colombia, Pakistan,
and Afghanistan would be "inappropriate".

Edit: Oh, yeah, don't forget Florida, great for both terrorist
training and learning to overthrow governments.
