Egypt to try ex-President Morsi for inciting murder
Published:Monday | September 2, 2013 | 9:39 AM
Egypt's state prosecutor says he has referred ousted President Mohammed Morsi for trial on charges of inciting the murder of protesters.
The accusations relate to violence outside the presidential palace in Cairo last December when at least seven people were killed in clashes.
Fourteen other members of the Muslim Brotherhood are to stand trial on similar charges.
Morsi has been held at a secret location since he was deposed in July.
He faces a number of charges but this case is his first referred to trial.
