A court in Egypt has ordered a retrial for ex-President Hosni Mubarak after accepting an appeal against his life sentence over the deaths of protesters. Mubarak, 84, was overthrown last year after mass street protests in the capital Cairo and other cities, and jailed in June. His former Interior Minister, Habib al-Adly, was also granted a retrial. The two men are likely to remain in custody, however, because of separate cases against them. Mubarak ruled Egypt for almost 30 years, surviving six assassination attempts, before last year's revolt. Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood was elected president in June.
