Britain's ambassador to Saudi Arabia has been asked to compile a report on the movement’s 'philosophy and values and alleged connections with extremism and violence'
David Cameron has ordered an urgent investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood’s alleged role in violent extremism, highlighting pressure from Britain’s allies in the Middle East to take a tougher line against the organisation.
In Egypt, thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been arrested as part of an aggressive crackdown against allies of former president Mohamed Morsi, following his overthrow by the military in July of last year.
London is now a key hub from which the movement is shaping its international message, as reported by the Telegraph back in January. There is no public evidence, however, to suggest that the Brotherhood is commanded from London.
"The Prime Minister has ordered a review to get a better understanding of the Muslim Brotherhood and its values – and look into its alleged links to extremism,” a Downing Street source told the Guardian on Tuesday.
Last month, BAE systems, the British defence firm, finalised a deal on the price of 72 Eurofighter Typhoon jets it is selling to Saudi Arabia.
