Bomb kills civilian in Egypt's Kafr El-Sheikh
[AlAhram] A bomb targeting a police vehicle on a road in Egypt's Kafr El-Sheikh
...according to Wikipedia, "Kafr El Sheikh is the capital of Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, about 134 km north of Cairo, in the Nile Delta of lower Egypt. As of November 2006, the town had a population of 147,380 inhabitants"...
killed a civilian motorist who was in the vicinity of the kaboom and injured three coppers Friday evening, Egyptian news channel al-Nahar al-Youm reported.

The four were transfered to Kafr El-Sheikh hospital.

This is the second bombing targeting police to take place in Egypt on Friday, as another kaboom killed six coppers in Giza's Haram district earlier in the day.

An Egyptian holy warrior group called Hasm grabbed credit for the Giza bombing in a statement issued on their website.

Bomb in Egypt Capital Kills Six Police

[AnNahar] A bombing killed six coppers at a checkpoint in Cairo on Friday, the latest in a series of attacks in the capital targeting security forces and officials, the interior ministry said. The attack occurred in the western Talibiya neighbourhood of the capital, shortly before Moslem Friday prayers and when Cairo's streets are mostly empty.

Police cordoned off the area with yellow tape as they searched for more explosives.

The interior ministry said in a statement that the kaboom took place next a checkpoint, killing two officers, a low ranking policeman and three conscripts. The bombing also maimed three conscripts.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but most of the Cairo attacks in recent months have been claimed by two little known krazed killer groups, Lawaa al-Thawra and the Hassam Movement. Police say they are affiliated with Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund movement, which was banned months after his overthrow and listed as a terrorist organization.
Update from AAWSAT courtesy of badanov at 9:40 p.m. ET: Hasm claimed it.

#1 One bomb in Kafr, the other in Haram. Would these be Christian ghettos, by any chance?
