Egypt Sentences 11 Islamist Leaders to Life for Spying

Associated Press

   CAIRO, EGYPT - An Egyptian court Wednesday sentenced 11 Muslim
   Brotherhood leaders to life in prison on espionage charges for
   allegedly passing state secrets to the Palestinian militant group
   Hamas.
   Among those sentenced in Cairo criminal court was the outlawed
   Brotherhood's chief, Mohamed Badie. It was the latest of several
   sentences against Badie, who received a life sentence last week on
   charges related to mass prison breaks during the 2011 uprising that
   brought down the 30-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak..
