Egypt's top prosecutor Sept. 1 referred ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to trial on charges of inciting the killing of opponents protesting outside his palace while he was in office, the state news agency said.

The military ousted Morsi on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding he step down. He has been held incommunicado since.

Fourteen fellow members of the Muslim Brotherhood will be tried with Morsi, including top aides and leading members of his political party. (AP)
