CAIRO, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – A bombing killed six policemen
at a checkpoint in Cairo on Friday, the latest in a series of attacks in the capital targeting security forces and officials, state media reported.
The attack occurred in the western Talibiya neighbourhood of the
capital, shortly before Muslim Friday prayers and when Cairo’s streets are mostly empty, state television reported.
The bloodied bodies of several policemen could be seen at the blast
site next to police vehicles that had been stationed there, an AFP photographer reported.
Police cordoned off the area with yellow tape as they searched for
more explosives.
Militants have repeatedly attacked policemen and soldiers since the
army overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013 and unleashed a bloody crackdown on his followers.
