On Sunday, "we arrested 516 elements from the Moslem Brüderbund group who were involved in firing ammunition, planting explosives and bombing some facilities," said Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who has overseen a bloody police crackdown targeting the Brotherhood.

Ibrahim also said that Mubarak's sons Alaa and Gamal have been released from jail pending a retrial in a corruption case, four years after their arrest following the uprising.
