| Egypt car bomb injures over dozen in Cairo |
| 2014-10-16 |
| [Iran Press TV] Over a dozen people have been injured in a boom-mobileing incident in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, near the nation's High Court of Justice, authorities said. Among those reported maimed following the late Tuesday kaboom near a subway station in central Cairo were a woman and two children. No fatalities have so far been reported as a result of the blast, which is the first major attack in the capital since a bombing outside the Foreign Ministry building in late September that killed two coppers. Egypt's Interior Ministry front man Brigadier General Abdel Fattah Othman initially announced that nine civilians were maimed in the blast and that most of the injuries were minor. The local news outlets, however, revised the number of those hurt in the bombing to more than 12. "It was not a boom-mobile. It was a homemade bomb," Othman was cited as stating to the Nile TV, adding that a number of shops were also damaged as a result of the incident. Bomb experts were reportedly dispatched to the bombing site to investigate the blast, media reports added. |
