two top leaders of the outlawed Moslem Brüderbund - once the country's most influential political group - after two years on the run.
The official says Abdel-Rahman al-Bar, the group's top religious holy man, and Mahmoud Ghozlan, the Brotherhood's former front man and a member of its top decision-making body, were hiding in a Giza suburb when they were arrested Monday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
