Original Message
The spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, General Guide Mohammed Badie, has been arrested in Cairo, Egyptian officials say.
Mr Badie had been on the run as interim authorities in Egypt try to suppress protests at the ousting of Mr Morsi.
He is facing charges of inciting violence and murder over the killing of eight anti-Brotherhood protesters outside the movement's headquarters in Cairo last June.
Correspondents say his detention will further ratchet up tensions in the deeply divided country, where an indefinite dusk till dawn curfew is in place.
Images of Mr Badie shortly after his arrest were shown on the private channel ON TV - a sign that the interim government is bent on humiliating the Brotherhood and weakening it as much as they can prior to any possible negotiations, says Youssef Taha, Middle East producer for the BBC's World Service.
He says there is no obvious candidate of Mr Badie's calibre to step into his shoes and a vacuum may ensue.
