Egypt
Egypt's public prosecutor has filed new criminal charges against the
last prime minister of ousted President Hosni Mubarak over alleged
illegal real estate sales, judicial sources said on Tuesday (from Reuters).
The charges against Ahmed Shafiq, who was also the defeated run-off candidate in Egypt's first free presidential election last year, relate to deals struck in 2005.
Shafiq, who fled to the United Arab Emirates after losing to Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, was appointed prime minister shortly before Mubarak was overthrown two years ago.
The new charges against Shafiq include illegally selling and profiting from the sale of villas belonging to the Airforce Officers' Association, as well as money laundering, the sources said.
The prosecutor also referred charges against Shafiq's three daughters to a criminal court in Cairo as the heirs of their mother, Shafiq's late wife ...
The court has yet to set a date for his trial but the prosecutor has asked a judge to call on the UAE authorities to return Shafiq to Egypt ...
Last year a judge ordered that Shafiq be detained on his return to Egypt to face accusations of illegally allocating 40,000 square metres of land to Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal.
Damascus explosions
A Syrian official says two mortars have exploded near one of President Bashar al-Assad's palaces in the capital Damascus, AP reports.
The official said the rounds struck Tuesday near the southern wall of the Tishreen palace, in the capital's northwestern Muhajireen district, but caused only material damages.
No casualties were reported and it was unclear whether Assad was in the palace. He has two others in the city.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to brief the media.
