Cairo Blasts

[dcentity2000]

"A bomb explosion in the centre of the Egyptian capital Cairo has killed one man and injured several others.
Police said a bomb was thrown from a bridge to the street below, killing an Arab man and injuring four Egyptians and four foreigners.

Eyewitnesses report seeing the remains of a body, covered with newspapers, beneath the bridge."

Clicky. Just heard reports that there's been a second blast.

What is wrong with the world today? Sad to hear of stuff like this.

Update: gunfire at a tourist bus. Seems like a coordinated series of attacks are unfurling...

Thanks for the updates Rich. I appreciate it since the TV isn't on right now. Very scary.

I shudder when stuff like this happens in Egypt...for a variety of reasons.

I shudder when it happens anywhere, but when it happens in Egypt, so close to so many priceless artifacts and history from ancient times in a tourist heavy area, it's worse, because it's not just people who are affected, but thousands of years old monuments and items. One of my greatest fears is that these barbarians are going to blow up and destroy the pyramids...

Can you give me the link to that information? Unfortunately the one above didn't work. We know people about to book a vacation in Egypt. And they can't understand why everyone's afraid of them going there. Maybe this will make a difference!
