Egyptian security forces arrested Mohamed Badie, the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, at a residential apartment in Cairo on Tuesday, state-run Nile TV reported.
He was arrested in the Nasr City section of the capital without any resistance, Nile TV said, citing Gen. Abdel Fattah Othman, an Interior Ministry spokesman.
Badie, whose title is supreme guide, is accused of inciting violence, according to Nile TV. The Brotherhood picked a Badie deputy to temporarily replace him, its political wing said Tuesday. He is Mahmoud Ezzat.
