    Egyptian prosecutor dies in car bombing
  • On 29 June 2015, Egypt's state prosecutor Hisham Barakat was assassinated by a bomb blast in the capital Cairo.

    The prosecutor succumbed to "ruptures in the lung and stomach, and internal bleeding".

    Zakaria Abd El-Aziz Osman has been delegated as the interim prosecutor-general in lieu of Barakat.

    2 civilians and 2 policemen were also injured in the deadly attack.

    Who was Barakat?

  • Hisham Barakat had been appointed the Prosecutor-General in July 2013, by Egypt's then interim President Adly Mansour. His appointment came after the military coup against the country's first freely elected president, Morsi.

    Why was Barakat killed?

    Why was Barakat killed?
  • The blast came after the ISIS called for strikes on the judiciary after 6 militants were prosecuted.

    Barakat himself had adjudged thousands of Islamists to trial since 2013, with hundreds of them then sentenced to death.

    He was the most senior government official killed since Morsi's overthrow in 2013 and his death came as a serious blow to President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi's regime.

  • Hours after the Egyptian prosecutor was killed, the Islamic State issued a video which showed militants executing 3 high profile judges in Egypt.

    The assassination of the judges in al-Arish happened in May 2015 shortly after Mohammed Morsi was sentenced to death for being involved in a mass jail breakout in 2011.

    The ISIS had titled the brutal video "the liquidation of judges".
