Ay-Peee
A top leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood group says he and other senior members are departing Qatar, where they had sought refuge following the ouster of Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and the crackdown on his supporters.

#3  AFP adds:

Egypt designated the Brotherhood a "terrorist organisation" after the military ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.

Since then, the group's exiled leaders set up headquarters in several countries including Turkey, where the leadership in Doha may now relocate to.

With the leadership in Qatar likely to relocate to Turkey, where other Brotherhood figures are already based, Istanbul is poised to host the regional headquarters for the 86-year-old movement.

Other leaders are based in Britain, which has conducted an inquiry into the Brotherhood's alleged links to militants.
