Surprised? "Muslim Brotherhood took ‘billions’ from Obama: Egypt lawyers," from
al Arabiya, January 4 (thanks to
The Religion of Peace):
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has been accused of taking 10
billion Egyptian pounds (U.S. $1.5 billion) from the American
government, according to claims by Egyptian lawyers.
An immediate investigation into the accusation was ordered by Prosecutor General Talaat Abdallah on Thursday.
The lawyers, Mohamed Ali Abd al-Wahab and Yasser Mohamed Sayab, filed
the complaint against the Muslim Brotherhood for the allegedly illegal
money transaction, Egypt’s private daily Al-Masry Al-Youm reported on
Jan. 3.
The complaint noted that Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for
the recent U.S. presidential election, had said that $1.5 billion was
given to support Egypt's Brotherhood by the Obama administration.
In addition, the lawyers accused the Muslim Brotherhood of having
armed mercenaries or a “third party,” who have instigated violence
during and after the revolutionary uprising in the country.
The armed mercenaries are trained in the desert, which lies between
the city of Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh in Egypt, the lawyers alleged.
