Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood on Tuesday Dec 24,2013 was declared a "terrorist
organisation", hours after a car bomb targeted a police building that
left at least 14 people dead and over 100 injured.
"Prime Minister (Hazem El) Beblawi has declared the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation," state-run news agency MENA quoted the premier's spokesperson Sherif Shawki as saying.
The condemnation of the Muslim Brotherhood - considered the largest and best-organised political force in Egypt, came weeks ahead of a referendum on a new constitution that is described as a major step toward returning to democracy since the military removed President Mohammad Mursi in July 2013
Powerful bomb hits Egypt police station, kills 14 Tuesday Dec 24,2013
Note
An Egyptian court has already outlawed the activities of the Brotherhood.
The military-backed interim authorities have often accused the Islamist movement of funding militants in the country.
Over 2,000 Brotherhood members have been arrested, including the movement's supreme guide Mohamed Badie
