Cairo Rocked By Deadly Bomb Attacks -- Al Jazeera
Four blasts in Egyptian capital kill six and injure more than 70 in attacks apparently aimed at police.
The first and deadliest explosion tore through the security directorate in downtown Cairo, killing four people and injuring more than 70, according to the Health Ministry. Officers at the scene said it was a suicide car bombing.
The blast left a deep crater in the street, and was large enough to shatter windows in shops hundreds of metres away. It also caused extensive damage to the Islamic antiquities museum across the street.
Witnesses said they heard gunshots before the explosion. "It was around 7am this morning. I heard shots and then the ground shook, the windows shattered," said Mohamed Taher, sweeping broken glass outside his cafe near the bomb site.
