“An Egypt military court Tuesday gave a life sentence to a Muslim Brotherhood member and sentenced 51 more to jail for attacking soldiers in Suez following Mohamed Morsi’s July ouster. The sentences come as army helicopters killed eight militants and wounded 15 in intensive air strikes in the restive Sinai Peninsula where it has battled a semi-insurgency since Morsi was deposed on July 3. The ousted Islamist president’s supporters had called for nationwide protests on Tuesday against his overthrow. The defendants were accused of ‘aggression’ against the army in the canal port city of Suez last month. They were also accused of shooting at and using violence against the army.”
