A Cairo criminal court sentenced 13 members of the Ajnad Misr terror group to death yesterday. All had been convicted of launching attacks on security forces, Reuters reports. “Ajnad Misr, or Soldiers of Egypt, were a group that emerged in January 2014 and targeted security forces in and around the Egyptian capital. The group’s leader was killed by security forces in 2015, and many of its remaining members are held in custody.”
