Seventeen Muslim Brotherhood members were arrested for the recent deadly flood in Alexandria. The terrorists were accused of planting explosive devices and dumping cement into the sewers.

The Muslim Brotherhood is currently outlawed in Egypt.
Obama supports them.
Daily News Egypt reported:

Seventeen people, allegedly belonging to specialised committees of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, were arrested Friday on charges of planting two explosive devices and attempting to block rain drainage in Alexandria.

The Interior Ministry said, in an official statement, one bomb exploded near the Al-Atareen police station, but the other one was defused before exploding in the same area.

The statement added that defendants dumped a cement mixture into the drainage canals to block the water and cause floods, consequently causing the repeated flooding in the city. The cabinet allocated EGP 6bn to maintain drainage infrastructure in Alexandria and Beheira in a bid to contain the damages resulting from the floods.

Further, Prime Minister Sherif Ismail issued a decision to develop drainage systems in Beheira, in meeting with Beheira Governor Mohamed sultan, as well as the Ministers of Irrigation, Local Development, and Population on Saturday.

Fifteen people were killed, including one child, from electrocution due to the floods, and 27 other were injured in Beheira, while two were killed and one was injured in Gharbeya due to the flooding.

One child died, and his sibling was injured in a building collapse in Alexandria due to floods on Friday. The building collapsed when the ceiling of the top floor cracked and fell on its residents, killing three-year-old Mohamed A. and severely injuring his older brother in the head, according to the initial police investigations reported by state-run news agency MENA.
