CAIRO: Egypt´s interior ministry said on Tuesday its forces had killed a senior Muslim Brotherhood (MB) leader, whom it described as responsible for the group´s “armed wing”, as well as his aide in a shootout overnight.
Mohamed Kamal, 61, a member of the group´s top leadership council, and Yasser Shehata, were killed when security forces raided an apartment in Cairo´s southern Bassateen district, the ministry said.
The Muslim Brotherhood said on its social media accounts that Kamal had disappeared on Monday after**on, hours before the interior ministry an**unced his death.
Amr Darrag, a senior Brotherhood official exiled in Turkey, told Reuters that Kamal had **t been involved in the day-to-day running of the organisation for months.
He disputed the interior ministry´s account that Kamal died in an exchange of fire, saying he was arrested and then killed.
“This could to lead to more irresponsible acts of violence by the young people. The youth are outraged,” Darrag said.
General-turned-president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi launched the toughest *****down on Islamists in Egypt´s modern history after toppling President Mohamed Mursi of the Brotherhood in mid-2013 following protests against his turbulent year in ******.
Hundreds of Mursi supporters were killed by security forces as they cleared two protest camps in the capital, and thousands of the group´s sympathisers were detained and sentenced to death in mass trials that drew condemnation from rights groups.
