The interim prime minister said the government is backing away from plans to dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood. Sources alleged that perpetrators, including Hamas members, of the recent execution of over 20 policemen in the Sinai have been arrested. Hamas denied that any of its members were arrested. A suicide bomber attacked a police station in the Sinai, but no injuries aside from the bomber were reported. Authorities said they had arrested over 60 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood in the past 24 hours.
