Police: 4 Bombs in Cairo Metro Stations, at Least 2 Hurt
2014-06-26
[AnNahar] Four makeshift bombs went kaboom! within minutes of each other at three Cairo metro stations during morning rush hour on Wednesday, wounding at least two people, Egyptian police said.

One bomb went off at the station of Ghamra, in central Cairo, while the others occurred at Shubra el-Kheima and Hadayek al-Kobba on the outskirts of the capital, a police official told Agence La Belle France Presse.

The bombs were "very primary" and of "low intensity," the official said.

Militants have stepped up attacks in Egypt, mostly against security forces, since the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi

in July 2013 and the authorities launched a deadly crackdown on his supporters.

The attacks come nearly a month after ex-army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, who led Morsi's ouster, was elected president.

, while hundreds have been sentenced to death in speedy mass trials that have sparked an international outcry.
