Egyptian court confirms death sentence on Brotherhood leader

An Egyptian court has confirmed the death sentence on Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie and 12 others for planning attacks against the state, BBC News reports.

The court also jailed a U.S.-Egyptian citizen and several others for life.

Badie was sentenced in March and is embroiled in several other trials. The sentences are subject to appeal.

Hundreds of people have been sentenced to death in a crackdown on the Brotherhood following the removal of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
