New Militant Group Claims Responsibility For Friday Blast In Cairo
2014-04-20
[Ynet] The Egyptian bad boy group Ajnad Misr grabbed credit on Saturday for a blast that killed one police officer in Cairo.

The bomb went kaboom! in Cairo's Leb Square on Friday night, killing the officer and wounding another.

Ajnad Misr, or Soldiers of Egypt, said in a statement on an Islamist website that its turbans had monitored a police checkpoint in the square before detonating the bomb.
