Egypt accuses Hamas, Brotherhood in chief prosecutor’s killing
Egypt says the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian Hamas group were behind the 2015 assassination of its chief prosecutor.
Hisham Barakat died hours after a powerful bomb hit his convoy in Cairo on June 29.
He was the most senior government official killed since jihadists launched an insurgency following the military overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
