Cairo, Sep 7 (IANS) An Egyptian court has jailed ousted president Mohamed Morsi for four days pending investigations over insulting the judiciary, state-run Ahram website reported Saturday.
Morsi, in a televised interview, accused 22 judges of fraud during the 2005 parliamentary elections, Xinhua reported.
He is also accused of attempting to influence the trial of Ahmed Shafiq, his rival in the presidential elections.
