The CIA/MI6 have been colluding with the Muslim Brotherhood for a long time.

1954-1970:

CIA and the Muslim Brotherhood Ally to Oppose Egyptian President Nasser

In 1954, Egyptian President GAMAL ABDUL NASSER’S nationalist policies in Egypt come to be viewed as completely unacceptable by Britain and the US. MI6 and the CIA jointly hatch plans for his assassination. According to MILES COPELAND, a CIA operative based in Egypt, the opposition to Nasser is driven by the commercial community—the oil companies and the banks.

At the same time, the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD’s RESENTMENT of NASSER’s SECULAR GOVERNMENT also comes to a head. In one incident, Islamist militants attack pro-Nasser students at Cairo University. Following an attempt on his own life by the Brotherhood, NASSER responds immediately by outlawing the group, which he DENOUNCES as a TOOL of BRITAIN.

The following years see a long and complex struggle pitting Nasser against the Muslim Brotherhood, the US, and Britain.

The CIA FUNNELS SUPPORT to the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD because of “the Brotherhood’s commendable capability to overthrow Nasser.”
[Baer, 2003, pp. 99; Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 101-108] The Islamist regime in Saudi Arabia becomes an ally of the United States in the conflict with Nasser. They offer financial backing and sanctuary to Muslim Brotherhood militants during Nasser’s crackdown. Nasser dies of natural causes in 1970.
[Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 90-91, 126-131, 150]
