Clinton hopes Egypt will give Mubarak,sons a fair trial

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today the United States hopes ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons will receive a fair trial.

8220;We want to see appropriate due process and procedures followed in anyone8217;s trial and particularly in such a highly-charged trial as that will certainly be,8221; Clinton told reporters.

Mubarak and his two sons,Alaa and Gamal,are to face trial on August 3 on charges of ordering the killing of protesters and fraud,a judicial source told AFP today.

The spectacular fall of one of the region8217;s most powerful leaders after 18 days of nationwide anti-regime protests was followed by repeated calls for him to be tried.
