Bombs Wound 10 Civilians in Egypt's Alexandria
2015-02-11
[AnNahar] Five bombs went kaboom! outside cop shoppes in Egypt's second city of Alexandria on Tuesday, wounding 10 civilians, police said.

Militants regularly set off explosives in Cairo and Alexandria, but the deadliest attacks have been in the Sinai Peninsula where troops are fighting an Islamist insurgency.

Tuesday's bombings all struck eastern neighborhoods of the Mediterranean city.

Two bombs went off in front of cop shoppes in Montaza district, wounding nine civilians.

A third bomb outside a cop shoppe in Raml maimed one civilian, while two more in Smouha and Sidi Bechr districts caused no casualties.

Last week, a kaboom near a police checkpoint on the western outskirts of Alexandria killed one civilian and maimed two.
