| Ousted Egypt leader Morsi to face third criminal trial | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Ousted Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi will face a third criminal trial, over his jail breakout in 2011. | |
| He is accused of the "premeditated murder of some prisoners, officers and soldiers" when he was freed from a Cairo prison in January 2011. | |
| Another 129 other people will face trial with Mr Morsi. | |
| The former leader is already facing trial on charges of inciting the killings of his opponents and for conspiring with foreign groups. | |
| One of these groups is the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has strong links to Mr Morsi's party, the Muslim Brotherhood. | |
| Hamas has denied any interference in internal Egyptian politics. | |
| Mr Morsi was deposed by the military in July, after millions of people rallied across the country demanding his resignation. | |
| Since then, more than 1,000 people have been killed in street clashes with police, and thousands of Brotherhood members to have been detained. | |
| His supporters say the charges against him are politically motivated, something the military-backed government denies. | |
