Egypt's deposed President Morsi is to be investigated over his escape from prison in the lead-up to the uprising which forced predecessor Hosni Mubarak from power.

The inquiry, a move which follows allegations that militant groups including Hamas and Hezbollah had helped in the escape, signals Egypt's new rulers' intention to legally pursue Morsi.

If found guilty of colluding with foreign groups against the Egyptian state, Morsi faces the possibility of serving a long jail sentence.
