Bomb kills three policemen, including witness against Morsi

A bomb blast beside Egypt's foreign ministry killed three policemen on Sunday, including a key witness in a trial of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.

 

The blast, the worst attack in Cairo for months, killed two police lieutenant colonels and a recruit, according to the foreign ministry. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the operation resembled those carried out by Islamist insurgents seeking to topple the US-backed government, underlining security challenges facing President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
