US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said the decision to blacklist entire Muslim Brotherhood as a "terror" group complicates the security and politics of the Middle East.

Presenting his testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Relations, Tillerson said it was problematic to place the entire organisation — whose members amount to more than five million, some of whom occupy positions in governments across the region — on a "terror list".

He added that these individuals condemn terrorism and we watch them and we are making review from time to time in coordination with other countries.
