Al-Qaida Accuses Egypt of Killing Ex-president Morsi in Jail Associated Press CAIRO, EGYPT - Al-Qaida is accusing Egyptian authorities of killing jailed former U.S.-educated President Mohamed Morsi, who died in a Cairo courtroom during his trial earlier this month. The militant group's media arm as-Sahab posted a statement on Thursday, urging Egyptians to rise against current general-turned-President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. Al-Qaida says: "We do not doubt that he (Morsi) was killed, oppressed and humiliated" in jail.
