[JPOST] Mohamed Badie, the top leader of Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund, suffered a heart attack while in jail but his condition has since stabilized, state run al-Ahram newspaper said on Saturday.State-run news agency MENA denied a report No, no! Certainly not! by the private al-Nahar website, that Badie, 70, had died. Badie, the Brotherhood's general guide, and many other leaders have been incarcerated I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! in recent weeks in the toughest crackdown the Islamist group has faced. Brotherhood front man Gehad el-Haddad said he had no information on Badie's health when asked to respond to reports that he had died in prison. A medical team was sent to Torah prison on the outskirts of Cairo to assess Badie's medical condition earlier on Saturday, a security source told al-Ahram. The source said his condition has stabilized and that the heart attack resulted from the "bad psychological state that he is going through". Posted by: Fred 2013-09-01 |
