The defendants, 98 of whom remain on the run, are all suspected members of the al-Qaida-inspired Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group, or Champions of Jerusalem, which has claimed responsibility for the bloodiest attacks since a wave of violence picked up following the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last summer.

Amazing. Egypt doing the work we should be doing. I think Egypt may be in better hands than Great Britain.

Amen to that.

Egypt’s punishment for terrorism is as tough as it gets and I’d bet prison accommodations for the ones awaiting trial aren’t even close to those at Gitmo.
