Expelled Muslim Brotherhood leaders may head to Malaysia, says report


PETALING JAYA: Muslim Brotherhood leaders expelled from Qatar on Saturday are likely travel to Malaysia or Turkey, according to Asharq Al-Awsat, a London-based Arab daily.

It quoted International Muslim Brotherhood Organisation secretary-general Ibrahim Mounir, in a telephone interview from Morocco, as saying that he expected most of them asked to leave Qatar to head to Malaysia or Turkey, since many had already obtained visas or residency permits to either of these countries, "which will make their living or residing there an easy matter."
