CAIRO, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Interior Ministry of Egypt announced on Thursday that eight Muslim Brotherhood loyalists were killed and four others were arrested.
The killed and arrested belong to the Hasm Movement, an affiliate to the Muslim Brotherhood which has been classified as a terrorist group by the Egyptian government.
Egypt has been fighting against a wave of terror activities that killed hundreds of policemen and soldiers since the military toppled former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013 in response to mass protests against his one-year rule and his currently blacklisted Brotherhood.
