| Mohammed Morsi faces Egypt terrorism charges | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi is to stand trial on charges including conspiring with foreign organisations to commit terrorist acts. | |
| Prosecutors said Mr Morsi had formed an alliance with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah. | |
| Thirty-four others, including former aides and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, have also been charged. | |
| Since being deposed by the military in July, Mr Morsi has already gone on trial for inciting murder and violence. | |
| He is one of thousands of Brotherhood members to have been detained in a crackdown portrayed by officials as a struggle against terrorism. | |
| Hundreds of people have also been killed in clashes with security forces. | |
| Fraud charges | |
| Last month, Mr Morsi went on trial on charges of incitement in connection with clashes between his supporters and opposition protesters outside the Ittihadiya presidential palace in Cairo in December 2012, in which at least seven people died. | |
| Proceedings have been adjourned until 8 January, but Mr Morsi will also go on trial on 23 December on separate fraud charges connected with the Brotherhood's economic and social programme for Egypt's recovery, called Renaissance (al-Nahda). | |
| Earlier this month, the interior ministry said it would no longer allow Mr Morsi's family and lawyers to visit him in prison. | |
| It said he had delivered messages "inciting violence" after a meeting in November, when he warned that the country would not regain its stability until "the military coup is eliminated and those responsible for shedding Egyptians' blood are held accountable". | |
| His son, Osama, said he suspected the real reason for the suspension of visits was that his father had been moved from Alexandria's Burj al-Arab prison to an undisclosed facility. |
