| Egypt to seize Muslim Brotherhood funds | |
| 2013-10-09 | |
[Al Ahram] The panel formed by Egypt's interim-cabinet to handle the Moslem Brüderbund's frozen assets ordered on Tuesday the seizing of the Islamist group's funds.
Egyptian interim Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi told news hounds Tuesday that the annulment of the group's NGO registration was normal procedure following the verdict which has banned "all activities" relating to the group. "The panel managing the group's funds was formed to execute the state's role in implementing court verdicts," he added. On 23 September the Cairo court for urgent matters ordered the banning of the Moslem Brüderbund's activities. The court also ordered the interim-government to seize the group's funds and establish a panel to administer its frozen assets until any appeal has been heard. On Monday, the Moslem Brüderbund officially appealed the court verdict to seize its funds. | |

| #1 That should buy another week's worth of wheat... I dunno. There was a lot of US-based support there for a while. |
