Gunmen shot dead three Egyptian judges on Saturday in the strife-torn
Sinai Peninsula, where security forces are battling an Islamist
insurgency spearheaded by an affiliate of the Islamic State group,
police said.
The shooting in North Sinai's provincial capital El-Arish wounded two
other judges and came hours after a court in Cairo sentenced ousted
Islamist president Mohammed Morsi to death for his role in a mass
jailbreak during the 2011 uprising.
Some of Morsi's fellow defendants included jihadists in Sinai, where
militants have regularly carried out attacks against policemen and
soldiers.
Earlier in the day, an Egyptian court sentenced Morsi and more than
100 others to death for their role in a mass jailbreak during the 2011
uprising.
