 "Muslim Brotherhood's top leader arrested")
Mohamed Badie, the general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, has been arrested in the Egyptian capital, state news agency MENA reported Tuesday.
Badie has been transferred with intensive security measures to Torah prison, where former president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons are detained, Xinhua cited the report as saying.
The Brotherhood leader was arrested Monday in an apartment in Tayran street in Nasr City district of Cairo.
Two other leading members of the Brotherhood -- Youssef Talaat and Hassan Maleik -- were also arrested along with Badie.
On July 4, just a day after the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, acting prosecutor general Ahmed Ezz el-Din ordered an arrest warrant against the Brotherhood's top leader on charges of inciting the killing of anti-Morsi protestors.
