Four explosions in Cairo's Giza, one killed

Four blasts exploded in the Giza province near Cairo on Thursday, injuring three people and killing one.

Egyptian state television reported that the health ministry said the man had succumbed to his injuries after a bomb explosion in the Imbaba district. Two other men were injured.

The three other blasts went off in the Mohandeseen neighbourhood in front of commercial shops. One man was injured near a mobile operator shop.

Interior ministry spokesman Hani Abdelatif told the Anadolu Agency that the first three blasts had only caused damage to shops in the areas where they went off.

He added that bomb disposal experts had started searching for other explosive charges near the sites of the blasts.

Earlier this month, three police stations in the city of Alexandria were bombed, injuring 10 people. 

In January, a policeman was killed while trying to defuse an improvised explosive device outside of Giza’s police station. Three others were injured in the same incident.

Bomb blasts have become a common occurrence in Egypt, while the government accuses opponents from the Muslim Brotherhood - the movement of ousted president Mohamed Morsi - of standing behind these explosions.

The Brotherhood insists, however, that it is committed to peaceful opposition.
