Egypt Declares Muslim Brotherhood as 'terrorist organisation' Tuesday Dec 24,2013

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

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
