Car bomb defused near Cairo
Security forces defused a bomb placed in a car and primed to explode on a roadside near the Egyptian capital on Monday, security officials said. The interior ministry said the stolen car was detected near a petrol station on the road to the city of Suez.
An employee at the petrol station, which local residents said belongs to the army, spotted three people parking the car and leaving on foot, one official said. Security officials said the apparent target was a passing convoy. (AFP)
