Cairo - The Cairo Court for Urgent Matters has banned on Saturday the militant group known as "Hasm," which has claimed responsibility for a number of deadly attacks on security forces and well as assassinations of public figures over the past year. The little-known group claimed the assassination attempt on the deputy prosecutor general last September as well as the assassination attempt on leading Islamic cleric Ali Gomaa in August. In mid-January, the High State Security Prosecution referred 304 people to military trials for alleged membership in Hasm.
