| Muslim Brotherhood Official, Former Clinton Foundation Employee Arrested |
| 2013-09-19 |
[FREEBEACON] A senior Moslem Brüderbund official who, until recently, had been employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was incarceratedPlease don't kill me! in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence. Gehad el-Haddad served as one of the Moslem Brüderbund's top communications officials until Egyptian security forces seized him as part of a wider crackdown on officials loyal to ousted former President Mohamed Morsi. Before emerging as a top Brotherhood official and adviser to Morsi, el-Haddad served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit group founded by former President Bill Clinton. El-Haddad gained a reputation for pushing the Moslem Brüderbund's Islamist agenda in the foreign press, where he was often quoted defending the Brotherhood's crackdown on civil liberties in Egypt. He was raised in a family of prominent Brotherhood supporters and became the public face of the Islamist organization soon after leaving his post at the Clinton Foundation. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... much of his official work with the Brotherhood took place while he was still claiming to be employed by the Clinton Foundation. "It was only a matter of time before Gehad el-Haddad was arrested," Egypt expert Eric Trager told the Washington Free Beacon. "Many of the other Moslem Brüderbund spokesmen have been apprehended, and in addition to decapitating the organization, the military-backed government has been specifically targeting the Brotherhood's media wing, including by shutting down its T.V. stations at the time of Morsi's ouster on July 3." |
