Egypt says it has killed key Muslim Brotherhood leader
Mohamed Kamal, 61, a member of the group's top leadership, and Yasser Shehata, another leader, were killed. The ministry said it raided an apartment in Cairo's Bassateen neighbourhood after learning it was used by the leaders as a headquarters.
