The suspects were arrested on charges of belonging to a Daesh group affiliate known as Sinai Province, active in Egypt's restive North Sinai region, where security forces have for years fought an insurgency.Some were charged with the targeted killing of three judges in North Sinai in 2015, while others were charged with the targeting of tourists and security forces.
