Cairo, January 29 (RHC)-- Egypt’s top military body has given its approval for military leader General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to run for president after he led the coup that ousted President Mohamed Morsi last year.
Morsi appeared in court yesterday for the second time since his ouster to face charges related to his escape from prison in 2011. He was shown inside a metal cage in the courtroom.
Earlier, a senior official with Egypt’s Interior Ministry was gunned down outside his Cairo home in the latest sign of growing activity by militants.
