Prosecutor orders Morsi's arrest over Hamas links

July 26, 2013 (rt.com) - An arrest order has been issued for ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi over suspected links to Hamas. State media reports the Muslim Brotherhood leader has already been questioned and confronted with the evidence.

Morsi has been detained for 15 days and will be subjected to questioning over suspicions Hamas helped orchestrate his escape from prison in 2011, reported Reuters, citing Mena state agency. The toppled leader has allegedly already been "confronted with the evidence."

The accusations set against Morsi also include killing officers and prisoners and kidnapping soldiers.

During the uprisings that overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak two years ago there were a number of attacks on police stations that led to the escape of Islamists and political inmates.
