Hosni Mubarak trial resumes after 3-month break

The murder trial of Egyptian ex-president Hosni Mubarak resumes after a three-month hiatus that saw the ousted strongman's fate eclipsed by deadly clashes and an Islamist election victory.

An ailing Mubarak, 83, risks the death sentence if he is found to have been complicit in the killings of some 850 people who died during protests that overthrew him in February.

Mubarak, who is in custody in a Cairo military hospital, also faces charges of corruption, together with his two sons Alaa and Gamal.

Ex-interior minister Habib al-Adly and six security chiefs are also on trial for their role in quelling the protests.
