   A girl shouts slogans supporting Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak
   outside the police academy where his trial will take place in Cairo,
   December 28, 2011.

   Egypt has resumed the trial of ousted President Hosni Mubarak after a
   three-month break.
   State television showed Mubarak arriving at the court in Cairo by
   ambulance and being wheeled inside on a hospital bed, just as the
   83-year-old had been for previous sessions.
   The trial had been on hold while another court considered a request for
   new judges to handle the case, which was rejected.
   Mubarak is charged with involvement in the killings of more than 800
   protesters during an uprising that forced him from office in February.
   His co-defendants include his two sons, his former interior minister
   and six senior security officers.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
