Egypt ex-PM detained over corruption

CAIRO - Egypt's public prosecutor has detained former Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif for 15 days as part of investigations into squandering of public funds, a statement said on Sunday.

 Prosecutors have been investigating corruption allegations made against former officials and businessmen connected with former leader Hosni Mubarak's administration in an attempt to meet public demand for tougher action against them.
