Egypt’s deposed President Mohammed Morsi is to stand trial on charges including conspiring with foreign organizations to commit terrorist acts.

Morsi was also accused on Wednesday of divulging "secrets of defence to foreign countries" and "funding terrorism for militant training to fulfil the goals of the International Organisation of the Muslim Brotherhood", according to a prosecutor document seen by Al Jazeera sources.

In a statement, Egypt’s public prosecutor said that Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood had committed acts of violence and terrorism in Egypt and prepared a "terrorist plan" that included an alliance with the Palestinian group Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah.

Thirty-four others, including former aides and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, have also been charged.

Since being deposed by the military in July, Morsi has already gone on trial for inciting murder and violence.
