| [AnNahar] Two bombings on Saturday in a Cairo suburb killed a teenager and her mother, officials said, the latest in a wave of blasts to hit the Egyptian capital this week. Militants have stepped up attacks after the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... in July 2013 and amid a deadly crackdown by authorities on his supporters. The makeshift bombs planted in a telecommunications being built in the October 6 suburb were detonated by a mobile phone signal at around 9:00 am (0700 GMT), a police investigator told Agence La Belle France Presse. Medics said the watchman's wife and 18-year-old daughter were killed. Residents said the powerful blast rattled windows in nearby buildings. Saturday's kaboom comes after five makeshift bombs at four Cairo metro stations on Wednesday and a sixth at a courthouse maimed six people. The authorities have blamed Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund for attacks rocking the country, most of which have targeted security forces, and have blacklisted the Islamist movement as a terrorist organization. Since Morsi's ouster, a crackdown on his supporters has left more than 1,400 people dead and seen at least 15,000 placed in durance vile I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! Hundreds have also been sentenced to death. An al-Qaeda-inspired jihadist group based in the Sinai Peninsula, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (Partisans of Jerusalem), has claimed some of the deadliest attacks on security forces, as well as a failed attempt Curses! Foiled again! to assassinate the interior minister in September. A little-known jihadist group, Ajnad Misr (Soldiers of Egypt), has also said it was behind a string of attacks on police in Cairo. The government says the snuffies have killed about 500 people, most of them security personnel.
