Egypt's prosecution issued Wednesday an arrest warrant for the Muslim Brotherhood's top leader over charges of inciting violent clashes at the Republican Guard House, official MENA news agency reported.

Besides Mohamed Badei, the warrant also includes Essam al-Erian, deputy chief of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Islamic preacher Safwat Hegazy, and nine others.
