Brotherhood figures leave Qatar for London: Interior Ministry Officials at Egypt's interior ministry tell Al-Ahram that wanted Brotherhood figures are now in the UK
Speculation is rising that Muslim Brotherhood affiliates from Qatar are currently in London, security officials told Al-Ahram's daily newspaper on Sunday. Major General Sayed Shafiq, first deputy of security for the Egyptian interior minister, said that information indicates that the seven Brotherhood affiliates who left Qatar are now in London. He noted that London is a desirable destination because it did not sign an extradition treaty with Egypt. A number of Mubarak-regime figures are also currently in the UK. Shafiq added that the foreign ministry and the international cooperation office of the general-prosecution are coordinating to track the movement of the figures in question. On Saturday, General-Prosecutor Hisham Barakat called on Interpol to arrest members of the Brotherhood – already outlawed in Egypt – who are either wanted in criminal cases or already have verdicts issued against them in absentia. Media outlets close to the Brotherhood – including Masr Al-Arabiya news website, and Turkish Anadolu news agency – had reported that Islamic preacher Wagdi Ghoneim, in addition to Amr Darrag, Gamal Abdel-Sattar, Essam Teleima, Ashraf Badr El-Din, Mahmoud Hussein and Hamza Zawbaa — all either members of the Brotherhood or its now defunct political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) — were asked to leave Qatar. Darrag released a statement saying they chose to accept the request "to avoid causing any embarrassment for Qatar" which has been under attack by Egypt and Gulf countries for backing the Islamist group. Meanwhile, the British government is considering the results of a probe it ordered last April of the Brotherhood. Authorities are still reviewing the report to assess its implications on UK policies. The purpose of the review was to “produce an internal report for the prime minister to inform government policy towards the Muslim Brotherhood.” Hundreds of Brotherhood members and allies, including Morsi and Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie, are now behind bars in Egypt on numerous charges. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/110684.aspx
