| Two Egyptians injured in small bomb attacks in Alexandria |
| 2015-10-15 |
| [AlAhram] Two people were maimed when a small bomb detonated in Alexandria on Tuesday night, with another small blast causing damages to a train. The first blast took place in a shop at the Mahatat Misr train station and damaged the window of a train, an interior ministry official announced via Facebook. The second small blast occurred in front of Bab Sharq cop shoppe and injured two civilians, the official added. Small-scale attacks targetting state-owned buidings or cop shoppes have become commonplace in Egypt since the July 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi. Last week two people were maimed when a small bomb went off near Cairo's Azbakeya cop shoppe. The blast damaged police vehicles parked outside the building. A similar incident in September injured two coppers outside a foreign ministry building in the Giza district of Agouza. |

| #2 Probably larger, judging by the damage. Sounds like somebody's testing a revised tactic. |
