One killed, 3 injured in blasts outside Cairo University
One was killed and other three were injured in two blasts occurred on Wednesday outside Cairo University, one of the most prominent and oldest universities in Egypt, State Nile-TV said.
The explosions occurred in the vicinity of engineering faculty at Cairo University at the center of the Egyptian capital but the cause of the blasts was not immediately clear.
A security official source told the explosion of primitive bombs were behind the blast.
The blasts hit the security checkpoint outside the university, in Nahda square, one of the basic sit-ins venues for the supporters of the ousted president Mohamed Morsi.
Since the ouster of the Islamist leader by the army last July, wave of explosions hit the restive Sinai Peninsula against security men and their premises. Lately, the blast moved to the capital and the Nile Delta cities.
The army has launched a large-scale operation since Morsi’s removal to uproot the crime hideouts in the restive Sinai. The al- Qaida-inspired Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group claimed responsibility for most of the attacks.
