Gunmen shot and killed three Egyptian judges in Sinai on Saturday, AFP reported.
Earlier in the day an Egyptian court sought the death penalty for former president Mohamed Morsi and more than 100 other members of the Muslim Brotherhood in connection with a mass jail break in 2011.
It was unclear whether the events were linked and who was responsible for the Sinai attack.
