CAIRO — Egyptian security officials say at least one large bomb has exploded near a national security building in the Shubra neighborhood of Cairo.
Egyptian state media was reporting that there may have been as many as three bombs targeting a court and a state security building.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. For blocks around the blast site, glass from blown-out windows could be seen on the street.
The bombing comes amid a wave of attacks and killings this summer, including the assassination of Egypt’s attorney general by a car bomb in Cairo.
