A
bomb explosion near the Egyptian foreign ministry in Cairo has killed
at least four people, including police and civilians, security officials
say.
The blast occurred on a crowded street near the River Nile. Witnesses said smoke was seen rising from the area.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the explosion.
Islamist militants have intensified attacks on the security
forces since the army ousted President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim
Brotherhood in 2013.
The violence at first targeted mostly police and the army in
the Sinai peninsula, but has recently spread to other regions including
the capital.
The militants say they are taking revenge for the hundreds of
Islamists killed and thousands detained in a crackdown on the
Brotherhood.
