[AlAhram] A bomb went kaboom!outside Misr Gedida Courthouse in eastern Cairo on Monday, wounding two coppers and a civilian, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported. Militant group Ajnad Misr (Soldiers of Egypt) grabbed credit for the attack in a statement posted on its Twitter account. The Cairo-based group has claimed previous deadly attacks targeting police locations, including kabooms outside a presidential palace and outside Cairo University campus. The interior ministry said those maimed in Monday's blast included a police colonel and a major. The bomb damaged a power box near the office next to which it went kaboom!. Explosives experts also defused a second device they found while searching the vicinity of the building after the blast. This is not the first time a bombing has targeted the court complex; in March, a bomb shattered the building's facade and damaged its doors, but left no casualties. An Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... affiliate in Egypt, which has claimed the deadliest attacks in the country, has more recently urged followers to attack judges. |
