The armed forces announced it would install a temporary civilian government to replace the Islamist President, who denounced the action as a "full coup'' by the generals. They also suspended the Islamist-drafted constitution and called for new elections. Egyptian police had orders to arrest 300 leaders and members of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, the website of the official Al-Ahram newspaper reported. A senior interior ministry official confirmed to AFP that arrest warrants have been issued for "Muslim Brotherhood members", but provided no further details. A presidential aide said that Morsi had been moved from his office at the headquarters of the Republican Guards. Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad told CNN presidential guards arrested Morsi, placing him under 'house arrest'. He added that Morsy's presidential team was "entirely put under arrest as well." Several of Morsi's aides said they had lost all communication with Morsi and do not know what his status is. The interior ministry official, a police general, confirmed police arrested Saad al-Katatni, who heads Morsi's Freedom and Justice Party, and Rashad Bayoumi, the deputy Supreme Guide of its mother organisation the Muslim Brotherhood. The Freedom and Justice Party said on its Facebook page that security men in plainclothes arrived at Katatni's house and took him to an undisclosed location. Other senior leaders of the Islamist movement have switched off their phones. The police general added that security forces arrested workers in "unlicensed television stations,'' referring to Islamist channels taken off the air.[/quote] Let's hope this is enough to prevent Egypt from becoming Saudi Arabia 2.0.
