Arrested Muslim Brotherhood Members Suspected of Suez Canal Terror Plot

Thirteen members of the Muslim Brotherhood have been detained in Egypt for allegedly planning acts of terror on the Suez Canal.

A terrorist cell, including a Suez Canal employee, planted bombs in various areas around the canal, according to security sources.

In a recent series of police operations at least 91 members of the Brotherhood were detained and 9 killed.

The August 6th opening of a new part of the Suez Canal is also under threat of attacks by Islamic State which actively operates in Egypt on the Sinai Peninsula.
