Egypt's police Saturday have intensified security measures in the periphery of the Higher Court, downtown Cairo, following a death sentence against the MB ousted president Mohamed Morsi and 105 codefendants over a jailbreak case, Al-Bawaba News reported. A statement issued by the MB Freedom and Justice Party threatened the incumbent regime would pay the price for what it called "betrayal", a move police interpreted as a retaliatory terrorist attack being prepared for. Bomb disposal experts have combed the whole area, searching for potential threats, police announced. Earlier on Saturday, a roadside bomb targeted a church in Faiyoum, south of the capital city of Cairo, two hours after the verdict had been issued with no data released whether there were victims. In the restive Sinai Peninsula, gunmen shot three judges dead and another three wounded, an attack for which the Islamic State (IS)-linked Wilayat Sinai claimed responsibility.
