Judge in Egypt dismisses Hosni Mubarak court case

A court in Cairo has cleared former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, 86, of conspiring to kill protesters during the 2011 uprising against his rule.

Judge Mahmoud Kamel al-Rashidi concluded Mubarak's retrial by dismissing the charges which relate to the deaths of hundreds of people.

Mubarak is serving a separate three-year sentence for embezzlement of public funds.
