Four Egyptian men have been executed by hanging for killing three military students in a bombing in 2014.
This is the second reported multiple execution of convicted Islamic militants in a week.
The first was the hanging of 15 men accused of deadly attacks in the Sinai Peninsula, believed to be the largest number of people executed in a single day since President Abdel Fateh al-Sisi took power.
The latest executions were carried out in the Borg al-Arab prison, west of the coastal city of Alexandria, after the military appeals court rejected appeals by the defendants, Reuters reports.
The court also sentenced three others in absentia to death, and jailed eight others, including Salah al-Feki, head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s administrative office in Kafr al-Sheikh.
Since 2013 Egypt has faced a growing insurgency from Islamic State fighters in the Sinai Peninsula. Authorities have also banned the Muslim Brotherhood and declared it a terrorist organisation, leading to the arrest of thousands of its members and supporters.
