Cairo Tram Station Bomb Hurts One Person
2014-03-09
[An Nahar] The kaboom of a suspected homemade bomb targeting a tram station in eastern Cairo maimed at least one person on Saturday, Egyptian security officials said.

Since the military ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
in July, turbans have stepped up attacks against the security forces in Egypt, killing many soldiers and coppers.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
attacks on civilian targets have been rare.

Another homemade bomb was defused at the same station, the security officials said.

In February, a bomb that struck a bus carrying tourists near the Taba border crossing in South Sinai killed three people, including three South Koreans.

The Al-Qaeda-inspired Ansar Beit al-Maqdis claimed the attack.

It has also grabbed credit for high-profile attacks including a boom-mobileing at a police headquarters in Cairo and the shooting down of a military helicopter in the Sinai Peninsula.

The Sinai-based group said the attacks were in Dire Revenge™ for a deadly crackdown by the security forces on Morsi supporters.
