Bus bomb blast in Cairo injures five

Five people have been injured by a bomb blast close to a bus in the
Egyptian capital, Cairo, the health ministry has said.

Earlier reports of a death have been discounted.The bomb was planted
on a pedestrian island and exploded as the public bus passed by in the
northern district of Nasr City, a security source said.It comes a day
after the government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist
organisation.A security source has told the BBC that explosive experts
detonated a second bomb that was planted in an advertising board close
to where the first explosion went off in Nasr City.The Brotherhood,
whose candidate Mohammed Morsi won the presidential election in 2012
before being deposed by the military earlier this year, had already
been outlawed.In recent months, Egypt has seen a wave of attacks which
the authorities have blamed on Islamist militants.

On Tuesday, 16 people were killed and more than 100 others injured in
a car bomb attack on a security building in the northern city of
Mansoura, officials say.The government said the Muslim Brotherhood was
behind the attack – a charge the movement denied.An al-Qaeda-inspired
militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (Champions of Jerusalem) claimed
responsibility.
