An Egyptian court on Monday condemned to death Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 13 other senior members of the banned movement.

The 14 members of the Brotherhood, which was declared a "terrorist organisation" in 2013, were found guilty of "plotting attacks aimed at sowing chaos" across the country, state news agency MENA reported.

The court found Badie and his co-defendants, who include the Brotherhood's former spokesman Mahmud Ghazlan, had set up an "operations room" to prepare attacks against the state in the weeks after the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.

But lawyer Ahmad Helmi branded the verdicts as "farcical", in a telephone interview with AFP.

1. Also please look away from the dictators of Saudi, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and others. They buy lots of weapons.

American weapons...and they use those weapons and suppress their growing youthful populations, so will need to buy some more...all it takes to Friend America.

Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Greece, so many other socialist nations do not like killing and imprisoning their citizens and so do not want America's magnificent and beautiful weapons...who can be friends with such folks?

2. Venezuela doesn't like imprisoning their citizens?

Could have fooled me..."plotting attacks aimed at sowing chaos" sounds like a charge that would be right up Maduro's alley.

5. Logic. Try it without asking questions you do not apparently want answers to.
