                     Explosion Kills 1, Wounds 18 in Egypt

   Egyptian officials say an explosion early Wednesday at a Nile Delta
   police station has killed one person and wounded at least 18 others.
   Security officials say the blast in Mansoura, about 100 kilometers
   north of Cairo, happened when unknown assailants threw a bomb from a
   car.
   The attack comes amid weeks of political turmoil in Egypt following the
   military`s ouster of President Mohamed Morsi.
   A spokesman for interim President Adly Mansour said the bombing was an
   act of terrorism, but "will not waver Egypt`s resolve."
   The pro-Morsi Muslim Brotherhood says two protesters were also killed
   Wednesday at a march in Cairo backing the ousted leader.
   Violence also broke out Tuesday near a sit-in by Morsi supporters at
   Cairo University, leaving nine people dead. The Brotherhood accused
   opponents of Mr. Morsi of attacking a peaceful protest, while police
   said the protesters started the fighting.
   Clashes between the two sides on Monday killed another four people.
   Mr. Mansour has appealed for calm, saying reconciliation is necessary
   for the country to move forward.
   The army has kept Mr. Morsi under house arrest since he was toppled on
   July 3. His family says they have had no contact with him since his
   arrest and are threatening legal action to free him
