| [AlAhram] Egyptian court sentenced 12 citizens to death Saturday on charges of being affiliated to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) group. The defendants were accused of forming a terrorist cell aimed at overthrowing the government, targeting security personnel and disrupting the provisions of the constitution, in the Delta governorate of Sharqiya. A key defendant in the case, Khaled Maghawry, is accused of "recruiting youths and sending them to Syria and Iraq to receive training [on jihadism] and how to use weapons." Six of the defendants are being tried in absentia while the rest are behind bars. Defendants can appeal against the verdict. |
