*Multiple high-ranking members of [[Al-Qaeda]] have been members of the Muslim Brotherhood at one point, including both co-founders [[Osama bin Laden]] and [[Ayman al-Zawahiri]] (who even lead his own cell at one point, which eventually became the [[Egyptian Islamic Jihad]] organization.) [[Khalid Sheikh Mohammed]], the architect of the [[9/11]] attacks, was also formerly a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and fought on their behalf during the [[Bosnian War]].

*The Muslim Brotherhood in Syria allied itself with [[Saddam Hussein]] and [[Ba'ath Party|Ba'athist]] Iraq in 1980 in an attempt to overthrow Syrian President [[Hafez al-Assad]].

*The Muslim Brotherhood supported [[Omar al-Bashir]] in his takeover of Sudan in 1989.

*The Muslim Brotherhood supported [[Omar al-Bashir]] in his takeover of Sudan in 1989. Also, the [[National Congress Party]], founded by Bashir in 1998 and serving as the ruling party of Sudan until Bashir's removal from power in 2019, originated as the Sudanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and maintained close links with the Brotherhood until it was banned.

*The Muslim Brotherhood were formerly longtime allies of the [[House of Saud]], but the two became estranged during the Gulf War, and enemies after the election of Mohamed Morsi. Inside the kingdom, before the crushing of the Egyptian MB, the Brotherhood was called a group whose "many quiet supporters" made it "one of the few potential threats" to the royal family's control.
