Bomb blast at al Tahrir Bus station in downtown Cairo

In what is still very sketchy information , a bomb was thrown from a bridge in what seems to be the al Tahrir bus station , just behind the Egyptian Museum. It seems 1 egyptian man died and four foreigners are among the wounded. This is the fourth attack in Egypt since the October 2004 bombing of the Taba Hilton during the Jewish Passover when the Sinai Peninsula are packed with Israeli tourists , and the third in central cairo. It comes just two weeks after the al Muski blast which killed 2 french citizens, an american and the 18 year old suicidebomber from Shubra al Kheima, a working class area on the outskirts of greater Cairo.
