State TV: Mubarak trial resumes in closed session

CAIRO, Oct 19 - A retrial of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resumed on Saturday in a closed-door session in which top security officials gave testimony, state television said.
Mubarak, 85, was sentenced to life in prison last year for complicity in the killing of demonstrators in the uprising that toppled him in 2011, but an appeals court ordered a retrial.
Mubarak was released from jail but is kept under house arrest in a military hospital in Maadi, a Cairo suburb.
State television said that former intelligence chief Mourad Mowafy and the head of the national security authority, General Mostafa Abdel Naby, testified in Saturday's hearing.
