In a related context security forces late last night arrested Fathi Taha, another MB leader from Kafr El-Dawar, and his driver, at a police checkpoint on the outskirts of Alexandria along the Cairo-Alexandria Freeway. Taha’s car was confiscated and he was taken to Alexandria charged with the accusations the MB has become accustomed to. He will be brought before prosecution later today.
