CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's ousted President Mohamed Mursi will stand trial on November 4 on charges of inciting the killing of protesters, a prospect sure to raise concern in Washington, already considering cutting aid as a way to urge Cairo to restore democracy.

Mursi has been held in a secret location since his overthrow on July 3. If he is brought before the court, it would be the Islamist leader's first public appearance since then.
