Egyptian Prosecutor Killed in Cairo Bomb Attack 
------------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, the country's public prosecutor has been killed in a bomb
attack in Cairo. Hisham Barakat died in hospital Monday after a remote
bomb detonated next to his car outside his home as he drove to work.
Eight others were also hurt in the blast. Barakat became a target of
militants after he sent thousands of Islamists to trial following the
overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
