Egypt’s top court to rule on constitutional panel

October 23rd, 2012

In this Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012, photo released by the Egyptian Presidency, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, second left, observes a military drill dubbed Naval Victory 45, from the frigate Toshka in the Mediterranean sea off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. The drill involved dozens of naval vessels, Chinook helicopters and F-16 fighter jets in a commemoration of the 1967 sinking of the Israeli destroyer Eilat by Egypt. The Israeli military says its largest ever military exercise with the United States, a major air defense drill called Austere Challenge 2012 started Sunday. (AP Photo/Egyptian Presidency)An Egyptian court on Tuesday asked the country's highest tribunal to rule on whether to disband the body tasked with writing a new constitution. The delay in a ruling is a possible blow to liberals, since it could give Islamists time to finish drafting the contested document.
