Egypt executes four Islamist extremists over 2015 bomb attack | ||
2018-01-03 | ||
[AlAhram] Egypt has executed four Islamist snuffies convicted of killing three military-academy students in a kaboom almost three years ago. The four men were executed at the Borg al-Arab prison in Alexandria early on Tuesday. The bombing took place in April 2015 outside a stadium in the Nile Delta city of Kafr El-Sheikh as the students were waiting for a bus to take them to the academy. Six people were also maimed in the attack. In June, a military court in Alexandria upheld death sentences against seven defendants convicted of the killings. Three were sentenced in absentia and are still being sought by police. Tuesday's executions bring the number of snuffies executed over the past week to 19.
