| [AlAhram] Egypt’s Court of Cassation commuted the death penalty against six defendants charged with being involved in a terrorist attack on the Three Pyramids Hotel in Giza in 2016. The top appeals court commuted the death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... against the six defendants to 10-year and life imprisonment sentences and five-year sentences against eight others. It also acquitted 12 other defendants after overturning their sentence in the same case. The verdict comes nearly two years after a Giza Criminal Court sentenced the six defendants in 2019 to death. The attack in question was orchestrated on a tourist bus outside the hotel that did not result in any casualties. The attempt, however, was claimed by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... affiliate Ansar Beit al-Maqdes nonetheless. The Ministry of Interior said the attack, which involved a group of people hurling fireworks, was aimed at security forces guarding the hotel. |
