Egypt accuses Islamists of coup plot

Prosecutors have indicted 52 members of the Muslim Brotherhood for sending men to Iraq, Chechnya and the Palestinian territories to undergo training to overthrow the Egyptian government.

Forty-six of the indicted members were arrested in various parts of Egypt on Sunday and are now in detention for 15 days for investigation. The remaining six members are at large, a security official said on Tuesday.

The security official, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, said indictment states that as part of a plan to establish an Islamic state in Egypt, "they sent some Brothers to Palestine, Iraq and Chechnya to train for military operations".

A lawyer for the detainees, Abd al-Munim Abd al-Maksud, rejected as false both the charge of sending men abroad for military training and that of trying to overthrow the government to establish an Islamic state.

The "Palestine, Iraq and Chechnya" bit.
But then, it's always good to get some propaganda mileage
out of these things when you can.
