A series of attacks by two little known terrorist groups may signal that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is re-embracing violence, American analysts warn.
The two groups which only emerged last year, Liwa al-Thawra and Hassm, are believed to be responsible for a recent wave of terror, including the assassination of a Brigadier General, the bombing of a police facility in Tanta and the shooting of Egyptian police officers in Cairo.
The area of operations and ideology suggest the groups are offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood. However, the Muslim Brotherhood officially renounced violence in the 1970s.
If the central Muslim Brotherhood is directing these groups, it would be the clearest example yet that the organization has changed its policy and a worrying sign for Egypt’s stability.
“Overtly there are no direct links between these groups and the Muslim Brotherhood,” said Oded Berkowitz, a Middle East & Africa expert at Max Security, “but the two groups share a broad ideology, and there are definitely at least some covert direct links between Liwaa and the Muslim Brotherhood, though the extent is not entirely clear.”

0bama peppered our federal government with muslim brotherhood members.
...yeah, sure they did ....
When the MoBro Mohamad Morsi was elected president, the ‘Bros sure did go on a spree killing Coptic Christians and destroying their homes and churches.
Yes, and Sisi arrested Morsi and 1200 of the Muslim brotherhood leadership. They are still in jail.
And the Killing of Christians stopped immediately. (there have been some terrorist attacks on them since, but none of the daily routing crap.
Some of the Christian Churches that were burned have been rebuilt.
If you think the MB will regain a foothold in Egypt, you are wrong.
according to an acquaintance and her husband there is a lot of support among Egyptians for the MB. Lot of fanatic Moslims there and some are their relatives. They support MB too.
Your acquaintance is correct. I have a young Egyptian friend who I’ve known for some time who said exactly that. Some of them are there and still support the MB, silently. That young friend of mine is a Christian convert. I feel he would jump at a chance to immigrate to a place where they were not lurking in the background.
The Middle East is full of this. It will take a long time to totally eliminate it.
I am not sure they will ever be eliminated. The people I know are in US they are Egyptian Moslims and the support the MB and are happy with Sharia as is their family in Egypt. They look like integrated Americans.
MB is an islamist terrorist organization. It has been since the inception.
Nothing that individuals tell you or believe will change that.
They Killed Anwar Sadat.
