Egypt: 14 Sentenced in Sinai Attack
By REUTERS [Egypt] [Arab Revolutions] [military caretaker continues as Muslim Brothers and Salafist (70% of vote) pushes for quicker transition] [use psci 355-455] [Egypt’s changing society since Mubarak’s downfall in spring 2011] [the tension between SCAF and new president just reached new high] [Pres Morsi apparently used the Sinai fiasco as pretext to sack some top generals!] [followup] [that was quick?] [14 convicted and sentenced for Sinai trouble, last year, not the recent business] [*]
An Egyptian court sentenced to death 14 people it said were Islamist militants for a deadly attack on a police station in North Sinai last year, a court official said Tuesday. [*]The ruling may add to tension in the region bordering Israel, where fighting between security forces and militants has intensified since Aug. 5, when 16 border guards were killed in an attack also attributed to Islamists.
