Islamist terrorists kill general, target judge

Islamist terrorists kill second general, target Morsi judge: Brig.-Gen. Hesham Mahmoud Abuala was killed in Sinai while traveling to Arish to visit a home he owns there, the Egyptian Army reports. Abuala was not stationed in Sinai; Daesh has claimed responsibility for the murder. Abuala was the second general to be killed by terrorists in as many weeks. The news comes as judge Ahmed Aboul Fotouh, who tried former president Mohamed Morsi in 2015, survived an assassination attempt on Friday in Nasr City, the Interior Ministry told Reuters. A parked car exploded as Aboul Fotouh’s car drove by, but no one was injured, the ministry added. The newly emerged Hasm group has claimed responsibility for the attack, as well as six others since July. The Interior Ministry said on Friday it had arrested members of Hasm and another militant group, along with weapons, explosives and evidence that the organisations had been set up by the Muslim Brotherhood.
