Cairo:
Egypt's ruling military council has appointed Kamal Ganzouri as
the new prime minister, a media report said.
Ganzouri had earlier headed the government under the Hosni Mubarak
regime from 1996 to 1999, Xinhua reported citing Al Jazeera
television.
Ganzouri, former prime minister of the country, accepted the offer
after meeting the military rulers, including Field Marshal Mohamed
Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
Former president Mubarak is on trial on charges of ordering the
use of force against protesters during an 18-day uprising that
toppled him in February.
The former president is also being questioned over charges that he
and his family made huge illegal sums of money during the three
decades of his rule since 1981.
