FILE - In this May 8, 2016 file photo, Egyptian police and civilians gather around a bullet ridden microbus in the south Cairo neighborhood of Helwan. An Egyptian court has referred the case of seven defendants facing terrorism charges to the country’s top religious authority, the Grand Mufi, for a non-binding opinion on whether they can be executed as the prosecution seeks. The Cairo Criminal Court says Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019 the defendants are members of a local affiliate of the Islamic State group spearheading an insurgency in northern Sinai. The men are part of 32 defendants accused of killing eight police, including an officer, when they ambushed a microbus in Cairo’s southern suburb of Helwan in May 2016. (AP Photo/Mohsen Nabil, File)
