Egyptian Court Sentences 22 Jihadists To Death By Hanging by HonNL(op): 3:47pm On Nov 25, 2021

An Egyptian court on Thursday sentenced to death by hanging 22 Islamist militants for 54 attacks including the attempted assassination of a former interior minister, a judicial source told AFP.

The men were found guilty of committing 54 "terrorist operations" across Egypt, including the murder of a senior police officer as well as trying to kill former interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim.

Executions in Egypt for civilians are carried out by hanging. Those sentenced to death include a former police officer, and the verdicts cannot be appealed.

The 22 convicted were found guilty of being members of the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group, which pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State group in 2014.

The Court of Cassation, Egypt's highest appeals court, also upheld prison sentences of 118 others in the same case, ranging from terms of several years to life imprisonment.

Egypt has for years been fighting a bitter insurgency in North Sinai that escalated after the army's 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.

In February 2018, the army and police launched a nationwide operation against militants focused on North Sinai.

Around 1,073 suspected militants and dozens of security personnel have been killed since the start of operations, according to official figures.

Earlier this month, Egypt agreed with Israel to boost its troop numbers around the border town of Rafah in order to quell IS militants.

Ansar Beit al-Maqdis fighters in Sinai were led by Hisham al-Ashmawy, an ex-special forces officer.

Ashmawy –- once dubbed Egypt's "most wanted man" -- split from the militants after they switched allegiance from Al-Qaeda to the Islamic State group.

In 2018, Ashmawy was captured in the eastern Libya city of Derna, and extradited to Cairo. He had been on trial with the 22 men sentenced on Thursday, but had already been found guilty, and was executed in March 2020.

Egypt, the most populous Arab country, recorded the third most executions in the world -- behind China and Iran according to Amnesty International. In 2020, Egyptian authorities executed at least 107 people, Amnesty said.

Meanwhile , our government here enjoys celebrating and promoting terrorist sympathisers with ministerial positions and appointments into the public service.

Even the foot soldiers of the terror groups that have killed and maimed people are given very juicy positions in the Army,Navy , Airforce and DSS, hence compromising the entire security architecture in Nigeria. But we shall survive...

In a certain country in West Africa, terrorists are forgiven, pampered and plunged back into the society to live with the survivors of their dastardly act.

That country also boasts of numerous terrorist sympathizers who occupy top positions in the government and nothing is done about it.

God will never forgive Muhammed, the fake prophet of doom who went about fighting senseless wars in the name of Jihad to ammass wealth, territories and numerous loot including young and underaged girls.
Someone who married Aisha and was already penetrating her at the age of nine.

Zainab finished him off by giving him poisoned goat meat to eat and his prophetic eyes could not see it from afar.

Come and see what they are doing in Mallam Sidi, Gombe under the guise of Operation Safe Corridor.
Boko Haram Terrorists are camped there and fed for months. After they are put back into the same society they once scattered.
That Mallam Sidi Camp was built by the state government as a Permanent NYSC camp.
Rather, the government takes the NYSC graduates to a delapidated secondary school on the Gombe-Bauchi Highway while the uncircumcised bloody terrorists enjoy the Mallam Sidi camp.

Death to all terrorists.
Islam is a religion of Piss.
