Explosive diffused from under police officer's car in Upper Egypt
2013-09-29
[Al Ahram] Egyptian security forces diffused an bomb placed under a car belonging to a police officer in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Assiut, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported.

According to eyewitnesses, an unidentified device was planted beneath the car. Bomb experts who arrived on the scene to diffuse the device said it was a primitive homemade hand grenade.

Egyptian security forces have found bombs near police and train stations in several governorates as political violence continues to grip the country since the deposal of former president Mohamed Morsi by the military on 3 July.

#1  I think that's likely supposed to be 'de-fused' the bomb, as opposed to slowly washing it away.
I could be wrong...
