ABC News Anti-Brotherhood Judge Named Justice Minister in Egypt Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Wednesday named a controversial senior judge known for his deep hostility toward the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood as justice minister. Ahmed el-Zind, the forceful chairman of the Judges Club, a powerful association of members of the judiciary, was sworn in before el-Sissi Wednesday. He has been an outspoken supporter of the 2013 military takeover that ousted the Islamist Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president who hails from the Brotherhood. El-Sissi, Egypt's defense minister at the time, led Morsi's ouster and was elected president last year.
