REPORT: Egyptian president vows swift justice after car bomb attack
Egyptian president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has pledged to carry out swift justice following the car bomb attack that killed the country's chief prosecutor the day before.

He says he will amend laws to speed up proceedings against the extremists.

El-Sissi says the "judiciary is restricted by laws, and swift justice is also restricted by laws. We will not wait for that... We will amend the laws that will enable us to execute the law, and bring justice as soon as possible."

He spoke on Tuesday at the funeral for Hisham Barakat  who was assassinated in Monday's car bombing.

Barakat was the top judicial official in charge of overseeing the prosecution of thousands of Islamists, including former President Mohammed Morsi, el-Sissi described Barakat as a "martyr."
