Egypt leader Mursi backs down in row with prosecutor

President Mohammed Mursi of Egypt has agreed to allow the Mubarak-era chief prosecutor to keep his job after an embarrassing public row.

Spokesmen for Mr Mursi and the prosecutor, Abdel Maguid Mahmoud, confirmed an agreement had been reached at talks in the capital, Cairo.
Mr Mahmoud earlier returned to work, escorted by judges and lawyers.
He has been criticised for acquitting officials accused of attacking protesters under Hosni Mubarak.
The acquittals sparked violent protests in Tahrir Square in Cairo on Friday when supporters and opponents of President Mursi clashed.
More than 110 people were injured in the worst violence seen since he took office at the end of June.
