The New “Khot Al-Saeed”… A “Suspicious” Connection to the Muslim Brotherhood

---

The uproar surrounding “Khot Al-Saeed” in Egypt has not subsided; in fact, it is expected to escalate in the coming days amid new revelations about his past.

Mohamed Mahsoub Al-Jaidi, who has captured Egyptians’ attention over the past few days through videos he posted on social media, found himself besieged by security forces at his home in the village of Al-Afarda, in the Sahil Selim district of Assiut Governorate (southern Egypt). According to the Ministry of Interior, he had turned his house into a “criminal stronghold” where he engaged in illegal activities.

A large-scale security operation that lasted three days resulted in the killing of Al-Jaidi and seven of his associates, including his brother and son, according to Major General Mohsen Al-Fahham, former assistant to the Minister of Interior.

Videos of the clashes between the police and “Al-Jaidi’s gang” gained widespread attention due to the intensity of gunfire exchanged around the fortified house.

What stands out, however, is that Al-Fahham told the media that Al-Jaidi was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization designated as terrorist in Egypt, and had been wanted by security forces since 2004.

Speaking in fluent Arabic in his videos, Al-Jaidi was a graduate of Al-Azhar University’s Faculty of Sharia and Law. He joined the Brotherhood after the January 2011 revolution.

According to Al-Fahham, he harbored many Brotherhood members wanted by the authorities after the fall of the group’s rule in 2013 and provided them with protection for years.

He added that Al-Jaidi’s house was surrounded by trenches stretching hundreds of meters, concealed pits covered with crops, and a surveillance system comprising about 700 cameras. The need to protect civilians in the surrounding area prolonged the security operation.

During the raid, Al-Jaidi and his associates turned his home into a fortress, using machine guns, grenades, and even gas canisters to resist security forces.

Authorities seized a massive cache of weapons, including 73 automatic rifles, 11 shotguns, F1 grenades, 70 homemade pistols, and two RPG launchers, along with large quantities of drugs. The total value of the confiscated weapons was estimated at around 15 million Egyptian pounds.
