CAIRO – Egyptian security officials detained the supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood early Tuesday, state media reported.
Officials said Mohammed Badie, 70, was captured in an apartment in the eastern Cairo district of Nasr City, the same place supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi held a six-week sit-in protest that was cleared by security forces last Wednesday. Morsi is a longtime leader of the Brotherhood.
Badie’s detention came “after information came to the security apparatus locating his place of hiding,” Reuters quoted the state news agency as saying.
The Associated Press described his arrest as a serious blow to the group at a time when authorities are cracking down on its leaders and mid-ranking officials, detaining scores of them across the country.

Logical, the Saudis want stability and a good oil market.
I think they were unwise to pay off Al Queada and the MB to leave them alone, but they are fundamentalists and nearly as bad.

'New 'Muslim Brotherhood Leader Momoud Ezzat.... Just as dark as the other one and likely just as insane....his forehead bump's pretty big so he's knocked his brains around in there quite a bit! Which banging there heads is what some do in order to maintain the bump....

Not only did Sisi get Badie, but a new leader of MB is emerging, and soon you’ll be asking ‘What Ezzat?’

Badie detained by Sisi.
The jokes just write themselves.
So . . . Obama supports the Badies.
