Muslim Brotherhood Activists Arrested
 Egyptian security forces on Friday arrested seven student activists from the banned Muslim Brotherhood, an official for the group said. Abdul Munem Mahmoud, the Muslim Brotherhood official, said seven members of the group, all university organizers, were arrested during a raid on their Cairo apartment. "Security men broke into the apartment and arrested the young men and took them to an unknown destination," Mahmoud said. "They were only arranging a protest against the offensive cartoons of our great prophet." A police official confirmed the arrest. "The men attached to the Brotherhood were having a meeting in their place, which is banned by the government," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
