Egypt Broadens Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood
(New York Times) Kareem Fahim and Mayy El Sheikh - A day after Egypt's military-backed government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, a more aggressive crackdown was already emerging Thursday, as the authorities announced dozens of arrests and the seizure of land, stocks and vehicles belonging to the Islamist movement's members. The Egyptian government also sought to deny the Brotherhood foreign help or shelter, urging other Arab governments to honor an anti-terrorism agreement and shun the organization.
