The Giza Criminal Court on Sunday postponed a trial of 36 terrorists over violence charges until May 10.

The trial was adjourned to hear the testimonies of the witnesses.

The defendants are charged with plotting terror attacks and collecting donations from Muslim Brotherhood protesters at Cairo's Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins to buy weapons and chemical materials to make bombs.

Fourteen defendants are being tried in absentia.

Two of the defendants were the founders of the terrorist group which targeted Christians and churches.
