An Egyptian prosecutor charged ousted president Mohamed Mursi and several of his aides on Saturday with endangering national security by leaking state secrets and sensitive documents to Qatar. Relations between Qatar, a Gulf Arab state, and Egypt have been tense since mid-2013, when then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi toppled Mursi after mass protests against his rule. Qatar had supported Mursi and his Muslim Brotherhood.
