None

An Egyptian court has sentenced six people to death for their roles in a 2016 terror attack on a security checkpoint north of Cairo that killed a policeman.

 

Cairo Criminal Court on Tuesday also sentenced two defendants to life in prison and four others, including a 15-year-old, to between 3 and 15 years.

 

All were charged with "establishing a terrorist group" among other charges for the attack on security forces.
