Egyptian prosecutors have ordered the arrest of the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist organization that controlled the government until Wednesday’s military coup overthrew President Mohamed Morsi.

The state news agency reported that warrants were issued for the Brotherhood’s supreme guide Mohamed Badie and his deputy Khairat Shater, the organization’s chief strategist and financier. Both helped orchestrate the political campaign last year that brought fellow Brotherhood member Morsi to power.

Badie and Shater are accused of inciting violence that led to deadly clashes between anti-government demonstrators and Morsi supporters. Morsi was reported to be in custody, and it appeared authorities were tightening the circle on Brotherhood members.
