Egyptian editor charged with spreading false rumours

The outspoken editor of an independent Egyptian newspaper is facing jail after being accused of spreading rumours about the health of President Hosni Mubarak. The prosecutor laid the charges against Ibrahim Issa whose paper, Al-Dustour, published two articles claiming that Mubarak was either dead or seriously ill. The stories have been strenuously denied by Mubarak's wife and several ministers. (Via Reuters)
