The United Arab Emirates, which belongs to a US-led coalition fighting jihadists, today issued a list of 83 Islamist groups which it classified as "terrorist organisations". It blacklists Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood and Yemen's Shiite Huthi militia. The UAE has jailed dozens of Emiratis and Egyptians for forming cells of the Brotherhood, outlawed in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which accuses the movement of seeking to overthrow the Gulf monarchies.

The UAE named the Qatar-based International Union of Muslim Scholars which is headed by the Brotherhood's spiritual guide Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi on its terror list.
