Head of Al-Ashraf Syndicate Mahmoud al-Sharif mourned on Saturday three judges who were shot dead by gunmen in Sinai.

The Syndicate of Al-Ashraf, decedents of the Prophet Mohamed and his immediate family, said in a statement that such coward terrorist act would never scare Egyptian judges but will only make them stronger and increase their determination to fight terrorism.

The Egyptian judges will not be discouraged to assume their role in achieving justice, he added.

Al-Sharif extended deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs.

Earlier, a group of unknown gunmen opened fire on a car carrying the four judges leaving three killed while the fourth was injured.
