More blasts rock Cairo on Tuesday

Two more blasts rocked Cairo early Tuesday morning, hours after four bombs left two dead on Monday.
 
A security source told Al-Masry Al-Youm that two bombs went off at the offices of cell phone service providers Vodafone and Mobinil in Amiriya, east of Cairo, heavily damaging the two offices along with 10 parked cars, but leaving no casualties.
 
The new explosions came after a series of bombs on Monday, with the first killing two and wounding nine others, including policemen, outside the High Court in Downtown Cairo.
 
Also on Monday, a sound bomb went off outside the Nozha Police Station in Heliopolis, spreading panic among residents of the area before bomb squads arrived to comb the district.
 
In Zahraa al-Maadi, south of Cairo, an IED blast next to the district’s police station destroyed three private cars belonging to officers who were inside the station at the time.
 
Another IED exploded inside an electricity appliances company in the upscale Fifth Settlement district. Investigators said an unknown visitor entered the building and claimed to have brought a gift to the company’s director. He left the package and ran away when security denied him entry. Investigators said the bombing had not caused any deaths.
