The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is expected to escalate its actions against the Egyptian government during the coming period, said the dissident leader of the group Tarik Al Bishbishi. He added that the recent verdicts issued against Egypt's former President Mohamed Morsi and other MB leaders will push the terrorist group for escalating against the Egyptian state. He praised, in a statement to Al Bawaba News on Thursday, the security preventive strikes, stressing that these strikes undermine the group's attempts to destabilize the country. The former leading member of the group underestimated the statements issued by the group's allies abroad to criticize the verdicts, saying, "Such statements will not affect the country."
