Tunisian Brotherhood’s Secret Apparatus in front of the crimes of terrorism body

On Monday, November 3, 2018, A lawsuit accusing Tunisia’s Muslim Brotherhood of plotting the assassination of two political opponents poses the most serious challenge to the Muslim Brotherhood since its 1981 inception.

Mohamed Brahmi and Chokri Belaid were killed in separate 2013 shootings involving the same gun. Both men opposed the Ennahda Movement, which was in power at the time.

Subsequent investigations by attorneys for the dead men uncovered a massive amount of evidence which was presented to the Tunisian prosecutors.

They opened a formal investigation into the Brotherhood’s secret apparatus on Oct. 10. The attorneys gave the same evidence to a Tunisian military court, which deals with terrorism and national security.

The attorneys who brought the suit provided Tunisian authorities with evidence implicating Ennahda in the assassinations.

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood introduced this type of training in the 1940s as part of its own “Secret Apparatus.” According to the Brotherhood literature, it was formed to execute military operations and train Egyptian citizens militarily to defend against foreign invasions.

 Interior Ministry documents show that Ennahda set up a similar apparatus based on a Muslim Brotherhood proposal.

Two unnamed Egyptian MB officials came to Tunisia posing as agricultural experts to help Ennahda set up the apparatus.

Tunisian MP Mongi Al Rahoui, who is part of the group that filed the lawsuit, also accused Khadr of having ties to al-Hakim, the alleged assassin. Al-Hakim confessed in a 2016 interview with ISIS’s magazine Dabiq to killing Brahmi.

 He said he had hoped the killing would “facilitate the brothers’ movements and so that we would be able to bring in weapons and liberate our brothers from prisons,” and had targeted Brahmi because he worked for the “apostate” government.

Al-Hakim was killed in a November 2016 U.S. airstrike targeting ISIS in Syria.
