Cairo Criminal Court tries Tuesday 213 defendants alleged to be members of Ansar Bayt Al Maqdis over terror attacks, Al Bawaba News reported. Defendants are accused committing 54 terror-related crimes, including attempting to kill former Interior Minister, Mohamed Ibrahim, and bombing security headquarters across the nation. The Sinai-based group had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (IS) late past year, and leads deadly attacks against police and army personnel.
