BREAKING NEWS : Egyptian security forces arrest brother of al-Qaeda's top leader Ayman al-Zawahri

The brother of a Ayman al-Zawahri, the veteran terrorist leader of al-Qaeda has been arrested according to Egyptian security forces.
A security official said that Mohammed al-Zawahri, leader of the ultraconservative Jihadi Salafist group, was detained at a checkpoint in Giza, the city across the Nile from Cairo.
Ayman al-Zawahri is credited by many as having been the 'operational brains' behind the 9/11 suicide attacks on the U.S. and to have approved the co-ordinated bombings on London’s transport system in in 2005 that left 52 innocent people dead.
Mohammed Al-Zawahri's group espouses a hard-line ideology but was not clandestine prior to Egypt's July 3 coup.
He was allied with ousted President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist, whose supporters are now taking to the streets to protest the killings of its supporters in a security crackdown last week.
Authorities said earlier that al-Zawahri had commanded insurgents in Sinai Peninsula.
For years second only to Bin Laden on the 'most wanted' lists of terrorists released by the US in 2001, he has a £15-million bounty on his head and five years ago survived a missile strike aimed at killing him.
He was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1951 to a prominent family, his father a professor of pharmacology and his grandfather the grand imam of the highly influential Al Azhar mosque
