The police arrested 225 members accused of attacking police stations and sabotaging public and private property and 500 suspected of inciting violence. They seized a large quantity of firearms, explosive devices, grenades, ammunition, and bomb-making materials.

Ibrahim accused the Muslim Brotherhood, one of Egypt’s terror groups, of sponsoring extremist Islamic movements and a holy war that has been carrying out violent attacks inside Egypt. He said that in the next few days, interim President Adly Mansour will revoke all amnesty orders issued over the past 3 years because a number of pardoned prisoners have got involved in violence.
