The Muslim Brotherhood claims he was arrested, taken into custody, suggesting he was killed after being taken into custody.
(AP) Egypt's security forces killed a senior Muslim Brotherhood leader and another member of the outlawed Islamist group in an overnight shootout at a Cairo apartment, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday.
A ministry statement carried by the state MENA news agency said 61-year-old Mohammed Kamal, a physician by profession, was killed along with Yasser Shahata Ali Ragab in an exchange of gunfire as police tried to arrest the two late on Monday night.
But a Brotherhood statement posted on its official website shortly after reports of the shootout surfaced said Kamal had been arrested by police, suggesting he was killed after being taken into custody.
