Egyptian security officials and state television say the supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood has been detained. Officials say Mohammed Badie was captured early Tuesday in an apartment in the eastern Cairo district of Nasr City. They've been through the drill there before, but global security and medical response companies say that deteriorating security conditions throughout Egypt have reduced the number of foreign business travelers there to workers who are deemed necessary.
