Interim president sworn in

CAIRO, Egypt (AP):

A senior judge was sworn in as Egypt's interim president yesterday to replace ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi as the military launched a major crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood. Reeling from what it called a military coup against democracy, the group said it would not work with the new political system.

The sweep against the Brotherhood leadership included the group's top leader, a figure venerated among its followers, General Guide Mohammed Badie. He was arrested late Wednesday from a villa where he had been staying at a Mediterranean coastal city and flown by helicopter to Cairo, security officials said.

The move against the Brotherhood raises deep questions over how Islamists will fit into Egypt's new political system after the military on Wednesday swept out Morsi, the country's first freely elected president. The military is installing a new civilian leadership to pave the way to new elections, saying it will stay out of politics.

After sweeping out Egypt's Islamist president, the military moves swiftly against his Muslim Brotherhood, taking the dramatic step of arresting the group's revered leader at a beachside villa and bringing him to Cairo by helicopter. The crackdown tests the new army-backed leadership's promises to guide Egypt to democracy, raising the question of how to include the 83-year-old fundamentalist group, which was banned under authoritarian regimes, rose to power after the first revolution and now vows not to participate after being toppled in a wave of popular anger.(AP Photo/Manu Brabo)
