Sudan's prosecutor general on Thursday ordered the questioning of deposed president Omar al-Bashir over money-laundering and "financing terrorism", as protesters staged a vast rally in Khartoum to demand a civilian government.

A source in the prosecutor general's office confirmed reports on state media that acting public prosecutor general Al-Waleed Sayyed Ahmed had ordered Bashir's questioning under "anti-money laundering and financing terrorism laws".
