Egypt Bans Muslim Brotherhood

An Egypt court has ordered the Muslim Brotherhood banned and all of its assets confiscated, the Associated Press is reporting, following the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed for much of its 85-year existence but was allowed to emerge from the shadows after former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak was removed from office in 2011.

The court's ruling can be appealed, according to the AP.
