UPDATED: 7 Egyptian policemen, 3 civilians killed in explosion during Giza raid on militants
We had three other submissions for this story (thanks, guys!), but this is the last update and from an Egyptian news source.
[AlAhram] The interior ministry said officers, who were seeking to apprehend 'Moslem Brüderbund terrorists', attempted to diffuse a bomb but were unsuccessful

Ten people, including seven coppers and three civilians, were killed in an kaboom Thursday evening as security forces attempted to raid a suspected hard boy hideout in Giza, prosecutor Ahmed El-Tamawy told Aswat Masriya.

Earlier in the everning the Ministry of Interior had said that the coppers and other victims were killed or injured as officers attempted to diffuse a time-bomb during the raid on an apartment in Marioutiya where suspected Islamist forces of Evil were believed to be staying.

The kaboom left 13 injured, two of whom are at death's door.

A civilian who lived in the building was killed in the kaboom, and two charred bodies were found inside the apartment, according to the ministry's statement.

It is yet unclear whether any of the those reportedly hiding in the apartment were maimed, killed or captured.

The killed coppers include Lieutenant Mahmoud Abu El-Maged of the Central Security Forces and low-ranking policeman Sherif Ibrahim.

Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Amin, the head of investigations department at Haram cop shoppe, was among those reported injured.

In recent months, Egyptian security forces have carried out several raids on apartments where suspected or runaway Islamists forces of Evil were reportedly either hiding or preparing for "terrorist operations." These raids have often ended with suspects killed by police, who say they were met with gunfire upon arrival at the hideouts.
