| Egypt court rules Islamist's mother not US citizen |
| 2012-04-12 |
 An Egyptian court ruled Wednesday that that the mother of a popular ultraconservative Islamist viewed as one of the strongest contenders for president is not a US citizen, likely clearing the way for him to run in May elections. Abu Ismail is a 50-year-old lawyer-turned-preacher with a large following of enthusiastic supporters, particularly from the country's ultraconservative Salafi movement. |
