Cairo - Egyptian police detained Monday 39 members of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood in northern Egypt, the group said on its website.
Three of the detainees are senior members of the movement in the northern city of Kafr al-Sheikh, according to the brotherhood website.
The members were rounded up, the group said, while on vacation in the nearby Mediterranean resort of Baltim.
