{{Egypt’s state news agency is reporting the youngest son of ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi has been detained by police on suspicion of drug possession.}}
The MENA news agency said police detained son Abdullah Morsi, a university freshman, on Saturday after a police patrol found a suspicious car parked on the side of the road in el-Obour city, east of Cairo.
The agency said officers found two rolled hashish cigarettes in the car.
A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to reporters, said the car’s passengers were Morsi’s youngest son and a friend.
He said prosecutors are questioning the two men.
Morsi was toppled in a popularly backed military overthrow in July and has been in detention since, facing a number of trials.
