Egyptian security officials said Thursday that they have arrested the Muslim Brotherhood's leader, after the military ousted Brotherhood-aligned President Mohammed Morsi and replaced him with the supreme justice of the Constitutional Court.
The officials said Mohammed Badie was arrested Wednesday night in a resort village in Marsa Matrouh, a Mediterranean coastal city west of Cairo not far from the Libyan border. He had been staying in a villa owned by a businessman with Brotherhood links.
The officials spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
He was flown to Cairo on a military helicopter, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The prosecutor's office, a day after the overthrow, ordered Badie's arrest, and his deputy Khairat el-Shater, sources told Reuters. The two were reportedly wanted for inciting the killing of protesters in front of the Brotherhood's headquarters in Cairo's southern neighborhood called Mokattam, the AFP reported.

Frank Gaffney has plenty to say about Norquist as well. Michele Bachmann is the only elected official with the stones to stand up to Norquist and her own party set out to destroy her for doing so.
Major hassan is trying to get the court to allow ramsey clark to represent him... another traitor whose neck belongs to a rope.

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a few years. I figured Ramsey Clark was dead by now.
For sure. Seems the GOP just can’t stand powerful women. Whether their names are Michelle or Sarah. Trouble is they will have to get rid of us too to get rid of them. Neither one is gonna happen.
Whattya wanna bet they all ask for asylum in the U.S.? And they get it?
Man, I wish that would happen here.
We have not been that fortunate!
The problem for Egypt is that this ongoing instability is not going to resurrect the vital but dead tourist industry.
True, but with the MB out, it at least has a chance now to improve.
What, The Won! was arrested?
Oh, never mind. Hopes dashed.
Good!
Now try them and shoot them. Quickly!
Also “Mohammad Baddie” - what an appropriate name.
