Mubarak murder retrial postponed

Egypt's top court yesterday began a retrial of ex-president Hosni Mubarak over the deaths of protesters during the 2011 uprising that ousted him, but postponed the hearing after a brief session. The Court of Cassation postponed the retrial to January 21. Mubarak and his two sons Alaa and Gamal were all arrested in 2011, months after the former strongman was toppled in a popular 18-day uprising.
