Report: Morsi works at barracks, unclear if can leave

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has spent Wednesday working normally at a regular presidential office in a compound of the Republican Guard in suburban Cairo, an aide to the Islamist head of state told Reuters.

The aide, Yasser Haddara, a communications adviser, said it was unclear if the president would be free to leave later to return to the palace where he spent the previous night. He had had no contact during Wednesday with the military high command. (Reuters)
