Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt’s state prosecutor is announced killed after a powerful bomb hit his convoy in the capital, officials say. The bombing came after jihadists urged attacks on the judiciary to punish a crackdown on Islamists.
The bomb destroyed several cars and blew out storefront windows in the upscale district of Heliopolis. At least five vehicles were completely gutted in the explosion.
The prosecutor Hisham Barakat was taken to hospital with a dislocated shoulder and a cut to his nose, a health ministry official told the state MENA news agency. A doctor at the hospital told AFP he had also suffered severe “internal bleeding in the chest.”
