Egypt's chief prosecutor says former President Hosni Mubarak and two of his sons will be tried on charges relating to the deaths of protesters during the revolt that led to Mr. Mubarak's resignation. The decision was announced by Egypt's state news agency on Tuesday. Mr. Mubarak remains in detention on charges that include embezzlement of public funds and the killing of anti-government protesters. His sons, Alaa and Gamal, are in custody in a Cairo prison and facing a variety of corruption and abuse charges. Mr. Mubarak was ousted by a popular uprising in February after ruling Egypt for more than 30 years.
