Mubarak trial to be held in Cairo

Egypt's ex-president Hosni Mubarak's trial on August 3 will take place in Cairo, the official news agency MENA quoted a justice ministry official as saying. 
"It has been decided that the trial of ex-president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons Alaa and Gamal ... will be held in the building of the General Authority for Investment and the free trade areas in the Cairo Expo grounds," it quoted him as saying on Thursday.

Mubarak has been in hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh since April when he was first questioned by the authorities.
He has been charged with involvement in the killing of protesters and abuse of power.
Mansour el Essawi, Egypt's minister of interior, has said security has been finalised for the trial of Mubarak and his two sons.
