Thanks don-o.
...Mahmoud Ezzat, a 69-year-old doctor... will be filling in for Mohammed Badie, 70, who was detained at an apartment in northeast Cairo early on Tuesday... [following] the deaths of 25 police officers in a militant ambush in Sinai and a court ruling announcing the possibility that the jailed ex-President Hosni Mubarak could soon walk free from prison.
