Egypt Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi has proposed the legal dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood and the idea is being studied by the government, a government spokesman said.

Beblawi said, "No reconciliation without will be reached with those whose hands are stained with blood. There will be no talks with those who have used firearms against civilians."

Beblawi had made the proposal to the minister of social affairs - the ministry responsible for licensing non-governmental organisations, Sherif Shawky said. "It is being studied currently," he said.

 

Brotherhood was also banned under Hosni Mubarak. Gvernment authorities have been asking the Brotherhood to not engage in sectarian violence. Reports claim that 52 churches were attacked in a 24-hour span that started on Wednesday, as well as numerous Christians' homes and businesses.

The interior ministry said it had arrested 1,004 Muslim Brotherhood "elements", and on Saturday security sources said the brother of al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahiri had been detained. Mohammed al-Zawahri, leader of the ultraconservative Jihadi Salafist group, was held a checkpoint in Giza, the city across the Nile from Cairo. This group supports deposed Islamist President Morsi, who supporters took to the streets to demand the reinstatement of their President.

 

....  Bader Abdel Atty, a spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, defended the actions of the security forces in an interview with Al Jazeera on Friday, saying that protesters were armed with machine guns.

"They are raising al-Qaeda flags in the heart of Cairo," he said.

 

 

"They are using machine guns against civilians. And this cannot be described as far as I know as a peaceful demonstration," he said.

 

Abdel Atty dismissed international condemnation of the violence and said Egypt would accept no external interference.

Many Western allies have condemned the killings, including the US, but Saudi Arabia threw its weight behind the Egyptian government on Friday, accusing the Muslim Brotherhood of trying to destabilise country- here.
