CAIRO: An Egyptian military court sentenced a Libyan man to death and 32 other defendants to life over a deadly 2017 attack in the Western Desert, the army spokesman said Sunday.
The incident took place in October 2017 when a deadly firefight broke out during a raid by Egyptian police on a remote militant hideout southwest of Cairo. Authorities said at the time that 16 policemen were killed and that 15 militants were either killed or wounded. Army spokesman Tamer al-Rifai said in a statement on Sunday that the military criminal court ordered the “execution by hanging” of Libyan national Abdelreheem Mohamed al-Mesmary, the main defendant in the case.
