Egyptian prison authorities executed on Tuesday (January 2nd) five inmates who had been sentenced to death, four of them over a bombing that killed military cadets, AFP reported.
The hangings came days after the execution of 15 inmates convicted of attacking police and the military in the Sinai Peninsula.
Four of those executed on Tuesday had been sentenced to death by a military court over a 2015 bombing at a stadium north of Cairo that killed three military cadets.
The fifth had been sentenced to death over a criminal matter, security sources said without elaborating.
