Egypt court postpones ruling on Muslim Brotherhood's legality

CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian court postponed on Tuesday a ruling on whether President Mohamed Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood is illegal, agreeing to the Islamist group's request for more time to present evidence in a case that has put it on the defensive.

Brought by anti-Brotherhood lawyers, the court case points to the deep antipathy some harbour towards a group that was formally dissolved in 1954 and forced to operate underground until President Hosni Mubarak was ousted two years ago.
