Egypt court acquits Zawahiri brother and Anwar Sadat killer in new trial
An Egyptian military court on Monday acquitted Mohammed al-Zawahiri, the brother of Al-Qaeda's leader Ayman, overturning a death sentence in a new trial, his lawyer and his son told AFP.        

The court also acquitted Mohammed Islambouli, whose Islamist brother Khaled assassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981, they said. They had been convicted of planning militant attacks.         

In 1998, Zawahiri and Islambouli were sentenced on charges of undergoing military training in Albania and planning military operations in Egypt.        

Mandur said the trial also acquitted several other former militants including Sayyed Imam Fadl, once the spiritual leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and mentor of Ayman al-Zawahiri.
