Egypt court rejects final appeal by Sinai militant Habara against death sentence in 2013 deadly attack
[AlAhram] Egypt’s Court of Cassation rejected on Saturday a final appeal by Islamist Death Eater Adel Habara
... big man in Ansar Bayt al Maqdis since back when it was a mere Al Qaeda affiliate murdering police and soldiers in the Sinai. His full name is Adel Mohamed Ibrahim, but he is sometimes called Adel Mohammed...
against a death sentence for plotting an execution-style killing of 25 soldiers in an ambush in August 2013.

The court also rejected the appeals of 15 other defendants in the case whose sentences ranged from three years to life in prison.

Habara's lawyer Adel Moawad told Ahram Online that his client "is still on trial in other cases, including insulting the judiciary, attempted escape during transport, and [and has received another] death sentence for the murder of an informant in Sharkiya governorate."

"However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
 today's death sentence is final and enforceable, and [the implementation of which] cannot be postponed until other cases are concluded."

Habara, who gained notoriety over his reported involvement in the attack, is appealing another death sentence against him for his role in a major 2012 attack in North Sinai that left 16 soldiers dead.

Habara's death sentence has to reviewed by the country's Grand Mufti, though the Mufti's recommendation to the court is not legally binding.
Possibly this is actually the end of the road for Ol' Adel. With all those cases at various stages of the process, he's probably grateful to escape the circuit between prison and courtroom. Hell, with its roasting intestines and red hot iron stools, will surely be more interesting.
