◼ Egypt court recommends dissolution of Muslim Brotherhood - Sarah El Deeb, The Associated Press via CTV News

CAIRO, Egypt -- A judicial official says a panel of judges has recommended the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest political group, from which ousted President Mohammed Morsi hails.

The panel said Monday in a recommendation to Egypt's administrative court that the Brotherhood has operated in violation of the law.

The recommendation isn't binding to the court, which holds its next hearing on Nov. 12. It appears however a step closer to banning the group, whose legality was disputed even before Morsi's ouster.
