(MENAFN- The Peninsula) An Egyptian court yesterday condemned to death Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 13 other senior members of the banned movement, state media and lawyers said.
The 14 members of the Brotherhood, which was declared a "terrorist organisation" in 2013, were found guilty of "plotting attacks aimed at sowing chaos" across the country, state news agency Mena reported.
The court found Badie and his co-defendants had set up an "operations room" to prepare attacks against the state in the weeks after the army ousted Islamist president Mohamed Mursi in July 2013.
