                    Cairo Bomb Blast Kills 2 Egyptian Police

   by VOA News

   Egyptian security officials say a bomb blast in downtown Cairo near the
   Foreign Ministry has killed two police lieutenant colonels.

   Authorities say several other police officers were wounded in the
   explosion that targeted a police checkpoint Sunday.

   There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

   Militants have killed scores of police in bombings and shootings since
   Egypt's military toppled the country's first democratically-elected
   civilan president Mohamed Morsi last year.

   Authorities have killed more than 1,400 of Morsi supporters since his
   ouster and jailed thousands more.

   [1]Human Rights Watch (HRW) said last month Egyptian President Abdel
   Fattah el-Sissi should be investigated for possible human rights
   violations in connection with the killing of hundreds of protesters
   last year in Cairo.
