Egypt: Hasm movement claimed Cairo blast that killed 6 people
A recently emerged Egyptian militant group claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in Cairo on Friday that killed six policemen and wounded three others.
The Hasm Movement, which has claimed several attacks in Egypt in recent months, said it set off the bomb which security sources said also injured four civilians.
The attack, at a police checkpoint on a main road leading to the Pyramids, was the latest in a series of security incidents in Egypt claimed by radical Islamists.
The policemen were either in or near their car when the device went off, the security sources said.
