| The Egyptian prosecutor's office ordered on Thursday the arrest of the Muslim Brotherhood's top leader, Mohamed Badie, and his deputy, Khairat el-Shater, judicial and army sources said, after the military overthrew President Mohamed Mursi.
Shater, a wealthy businessman seen as the Brotherhood's top political strategist, was the group's first choice candidate to run in last year's presidential election.
But he was disqualified from the race due to past convictions, forcing Mursi to take his place.

| LOL: Morsi arrested on charges of ‘insulting the judiciary’ Egypt’s new military leaders tightened their grip on the country last Thursday, arresting the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader and throwing other Islamists in the same jail where the deposed dictator Hosni Mubarak is being held. To the shock of Egypt’s backers in the West, the army showed no sign of compromise after its decisive move to depose President Mohammed Morsi. Pro-Brotherhood television stations were taken off the air, and the organisation said state-owned printers had refused to publish the newspaper of the its Freedom and Justice Party. Amr Moussa, the former Arab League head and one of the leading liberal politicians backing the army, admitted that General Abdulfattah al-Sisi, the defence minister, was leading discussions on appointing a new government, not the newly sworn interim president, Adly Mansour.
