| [Egypt Independent] Beni Suef Governor Magdi al-Beteity, said Moslem Brüderbund supporters in al-Maymoun village set a policeman's brother's car on fire as authorities were arresting some of them per a prosecution order. The Brotherhood supporters also allegedly tried to set the victim's house on fire, hurling Molotov cocktails at it, Beteity said on Thursday. Emergency respondents, however, were able to control the fire that broke out in both the house and the car. Beni Suef security services had launched campaigns to arrest some suspects over involvement in lawsuits in the village. After teargas canisters were fired, Brotherhood members dismantled some train track rails off and set tires on fire. Major General Ibrahim Hodeib, Beni Suef security chief, said on Thursday that the festivities are still ongoing and that the protesters are still blocking the railways as well as the agricultural road. He said he ordered authorities to deal strictly with the protesters to re-operate the train traffic. Security services locked away Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on Wednesday evening nine suspects allegedly affiliated to the Moslem Brüderbund. |
