Scores wounded in bomb attack on Cairo metro
At least seven people were wounded when a bomb went off in a Cairo metro carriage on Thursday, Nov 13, security officials said. Egypt has been hit by a wave of attacks, many of them claimed by Sinai-based group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which on Monday pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. Last week, a bomb on a train north of the capital killed four people, including two policemen, while blasts in the Cairo metro and near a presidential palace wounded several others.
