Prosecutor uncovers terrorist plot to assassinate El Sisi

The Prosecutor General has referred 292 defendants to a military tribunal on charges of affiliation with Daesh and involvement in the assassinations and attempted assassinations of judges and security personnel, mostly in North Sinai. Of the 158 arrested, 66 are said to have offered detailed confessions. The defendants confessed to carrying out an attempt on El Sisi’s life while he performed umrah in Mecca by stashing explosive devices on the 34th floor of a hotel at which he was rumored to be staying. Al Masry Al Youm quotes the full text of the prosecutor’s statement on the matter.
