Egyptian Judges Call for Dissolution of Muslim Brotherhood; Morsi to Stand Trial 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, a panel of judges has called for the Muslim Brotherhood to be
legally dissolved. The recommendation Monday came a day after Egypt's
top prosecutor ordered ousted President Mohamed Morsi and a number of
other Brotherhood leaders to face trial for charges that include
inciting the murder of protesters. Protests against the military-backed
government have continued despite a deadly crackdown against the Muslim
Brotherhood that has killed more than 1,000 people.
