Trial date for Morsi stokes Egypt political drama  SARAH EL DEEB
Associated Press Published:  CAIRO (AP) -- The politically
charged trial of Egypt's Mohammed Morsi will begin Nov. 4,
almost four months to the day after the country's first
democratically elected president was toppled by the military,
authorities said Wednesday.  The prosecution of Morsi on charges
of inciting his followers to kill opponents of his rule takes
the crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood to a new level and is
likely to fuel protests by his Islamist supporters, stoking the
turmoil shaking Egypt.  Since his July 3 ouster, Morsi's backers
have taken to the streets in rallies met by a fierce response by
security forces that has left hundreds dead.  Wednesday's
announcement comes as the United States announced it was cutting
hundreds of millions of dollars in annual aid to Egypt and its
military -- a show of discontent with the crackdown aimed at
pressuring the interim leadership to move quickly toward a
democratically elected government.
