Leading Egyptians accused of harming military's image

[FarCenter]

Military prosecutors are to decide whether to take action over a complaint against 12 leading Egyptians accused of harming the army's image and seeking to overthrow the state, judicial sources said on Wednesday.

Among those named were Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who administered the Facebook page that helped spark Egypt's revolution and internationally acclaimed writer Alaa al-Aswany.

A decision on the complaint, backed by 700 people, will be made after prosecutors interview the plaintiff and examine documents submitted, the source said.

The 12 are also accused of "provoking discord."
