mobanmarketCairo- An Egyptian court has sentenced six people to death on terror-related charges for carrying out a militant attack outside a hotel near the famed Giza Pyramids.
###
The Giza criminal court on Saturday also sentenced eight defendants to life in prison on similar charges that include attacking security forces, and possession of weapons and explosives.
###
Another 12 defendants received 10 years in prison. The verdict can be appealed.
###
The charges stem from an attack in Jan. 2016 on an Egyptian security post outside the Three Pyramids Hotel.
###
No one was hurt in the incident, but the attack damaged the hotel’s facade and also a bus parked in front of the building, which was in use by a group of visiting Arab Israelis.
