Saad El-Katatni, head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and former speaker of parliament, was arrested along with Rashad al-Bayoumi, one of the Brotherhood's deputy leaders, in a crackdown on the movement that began hours after the army ousted elected president Mursi.
MENA reported Wednesday night that the police were continuing efforts to arrest "a number of members of the Muslim Brotherhood who are accused of inciting violence and disturbing general security and peace".
