Egypt prosecutor retracts resignation

Egypt's new public prosecutor yesterday retracted an offer to resign he made on Monday following protests about his appointment, Egyptian media report.
Talaat Ibrahim said it was now up to the justice minister to decide whether he should stay on.
Ibrahim was appointed by President Mohammed Morsi last month, after his predecessor was sacked. The move angered senior judges who saw the sacking of Abdel Maguid Mahmoud as an attack on their independence.
