CAIRO, Feb 7 (AFP): Six Egyptian policemen were wounded in a bomb attack on a bridge in the capital on Friday, officials said.
The attack shattered a tense calm in Cairo after a spate of bombings on January 24 killed six policemen, in an escalation of a militant campaign following the overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
The interior ministry said two small bombs exploded near policemen stationed on a bridge near central Cairo. At least six were wounded in the attack, the health ministry said.
Police cordoned off the scene, where a lightly damaged police truck appeared to have borne the brunt of the blast.
