Egypt's military to guard key state installations
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on Monday ordered the military to join police forces in guarding vital state facilities against terror attacks, a move that would expand the military's already dominant public presence since it toppled Islamist President Mohammed Morsi 15 months ago.
The president's decree stipulated that army troops will join police in guarding state facilities for two years, during which they will be treated as military installations. The perpetrators of any attacks against the facilities will be tried before military tribunals.
