Egyptian authorities have arrested Mohammed al-Zawahri, leader of the ultraconservative Jihadi Salafist group and brother of Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri.
It is still unconfirmed on what charges El-Zawahri is being held.
He has been a vocal supporter of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement and the more extreme group to which he belongs, Al Gama'a Al Islamiya.
Mohammed al-Zawahri was transferred from a police station to a maximum security prison out of concern his supporters would attempt to free him from the police station, the sources said. Police stations have been coming under attack in recent days.
