work at the administrative offices of the Moslem Brüderbund, and have been arrested for involvement in recent bloody festivities including at Al Nahda square in Giza.

Earlier on Wednesday, famous Islamist preacher Safwat Hegazy was arrested on his way to the Siwa oasis in Egypt's western desert.

Hegazy was arrested while disguised as a Bedouin.
"Heh heh! No one will recognize me in this burnoose and stuff!"
"Stick 'em up!"

Hegazy, who was widely accused of incitement against the Moslem Brüderbund's opponents as well Christians and the Egyptian army, has been accused of murder, torture and incitement to violence.

Also on Wednesday, Mourad Ali, a Moslem Brüderbund member and media advisor of the Freedom and Justice Party, was arrested at Cairo International Airport on his way to Rome.
"Heh heh! Once I'm in Rome I'll be able to do as the Romans do!"
"Stick 'em up!"

Late on Monday, Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie was also arrested. He is expected to stand trial on 25 August with five other leading Brotherhood figures, including Deputy Guide Khairat El-Shater, on charges of inciting murder at the Brotherhood headquarters festivities last June.
