Lawyer for ex-minister want Egypt's army ruler as witness

Lawyers representing former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli called on Wednesday for the military ruler of Egypt to be summoned as a witness in the trail that includes former president Hosni Mubarak.

"We ask for the summoning of the national security council, the (former) cabinet and political leaders and we also ask to summon Field Marshal (Mohamed Hussein) Tantawai and General (Omar) Suleiman to speak to them," one of Adli's lawyers said. (Reuters)
