Deposed Egyptian President Morsi held for conspiring with Hamas, murder, kidnapping
( Arson, destruction of prison records and “collaboration with Hamas to undertake aggressive acts in the country, attacking police facilities, officers and soldiers. ” What a guy! – JW )
Egyptian authorities have detained President Mohamed Morsi for 15 days over an array of accusations, including killing soldiers and conspiring with the Palestinian group Hamas, the state news agency said on Friday.
The report came just hours before millions of Egyptians were expected to take to the streets in mass rallies for and against Egypt’s first freely elected leader, who was ousted by the military on July 3.
Morsi has been held by the military since his downfall, but until Friday’s step by an investigating judge, he had not faced any formal legal measures. The charges relate to his escape, along with other top Brotherhood leaders, from a prison north of Cairo.
The report on the state news agency said investigating judge Hassan Samir had confronted Morsi with evidence during his questioning. It did not say when or where he had been questioned.
A spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, which says the army has staged a coup against the democratically elected head of state, described the accusations as “ridiculous”. Gehad El-Haddad said they marked the return of the “old regime”.
Morsi and many other Brotherhood leaders were rounded up by the authorities during the 2011 uprising that swept Hosni Mubarak from power.
The accusations listed against Morsi included arson, destruction of prison records and “collaboration with Hamas to undertake aggressive acts in the country, attacking police facilities, officers and soldiers”.
It also accused him of “killing some prisoners, officers and soldiers deliberately and with prior intent”. It added the accusation of “kidnapping some officers and soldiers”.
The prosecutor has issued a gag order stipulating the media may only publish his statements on the case, citing the secrecy of the investigations and “national security.

No geopolitical constellation will allow Israel to live with a nuclear Iran. He who doesn’t understand this, is not understanding the Israeli fundamental conception about surviving as an independent entity, as a State.

Affirmative.

It becomes more and more clear what many of us knew all along.
Obavez will opt for containment in regards to Iran.
All the talk of “All options are on the table” was always just that: talk.
It’s as it has always been. Israel has to decide if she wants to live with a nuclear Iran.
I predict, the answer will be a NO.

Yes the Palestinians always tell the truth,come on joop that’s comical,if you use that logic then the 1918 mandate sets the precedent,or some would argue the 1922 mandate which would leave israel in control of most of the middle east,which israel never wanted or it wouldn’t have given Sinai back to the Egyptians
July 26, 2013 at 4:36 PM
And is this correct ?
