CAIRO, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Egyptian intelligence officials failed to cooperate during the criminal investigation of former President Hosni Mubarak, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Prosecutors showed video evidence of the killing of protesters in court, saying the footage Egypt's General Intelligence Service initially provided was either fuzzy or not connected to last year's revolution, Egypt Independent reported Wednesday.
Chief prosecutor Mostafa Suleiman said forensic evidence proves the killing of protesters in Tahrir Square was systematic and accused Mubarak of tyranny and corruption.
Mubarak, along with former Interior Minister Habib El-Adly and six of his assistants, is charged with being responsible for forces loyal to his government opening fire on unarmed protesters in the early days of the revolution, Ahram Online reported. The former president also faces corruption charges along with his sons Gamal and Alaa and runaway business tycoon Hussein Salem.
Some plaintiffs in the case have asked that Gen. Sami Anan -- No. 2 on the ruling military council -- be called as a witness in the trial.
