Two Bombs Wound 8 in Egypt
2014-10-17
[An Nahar] Two bombs went kaboom! near a mosque Thursday in Egypt's Nile delta city of Tanta, wounding at least eight people, security and medical officials said.

"Eight people were maimed... when shrapnel hit them in the arms, legs and faces," said Magdy Awad, chief of ambulance services for Al-Gharbiya province, of which Tanta is the capital.

A security official said the bombs were placed at the rear end of the mosque at a time when residents in the area were participating in a ceremony.
