Roadside bomb kills 2, wounds 24 in Egypt
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA roadside bombing in Egypt kills two policemen and wounds 24 others on Monday, security and medical officials say.
The blast targets a bus carrying conscripts in the Nile Delta province of Beheira early Monday morning, police Brig. Gen. Khaled al-Hameed says. Deputy Health Minister Alaa el-Deen Othman confirms the casualty figure.
No group immediately claims responsibility for the attack.
Attacks on police and military personnel have become increasingly common outside of the restive north Sinai, where the government has been battling an Islamist insurgency since the military overthrew Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
