CAIRO, April 10 (Xinhuanet) -- A Frenchman wounded in Thursday's blast in
Cairo died while being flown back to France for treatment, bringing the toll of
the attack to four, the French Embassy in Cairo said Sunday.
Egyptian authorities previously reported that the blast in
an open-air market in Cairo's Old City killed three people, including a French
woman, an American man and an unidentified body who is suspected by the police
to be the bomber.
Egyptian Prosecutor-General Maher Abdel Wahed said Saturday that initial
investigations showed the explosion was an individual act.
"The investigations have proven that this was the act of an individual, not
a group," Wahed told reporters at a press conference, without revealing further
details.
The prosecutor also said no one can make any speculation and everyone must
wait for the outcome of the investigations, stressing that the investigations
will continue.
However, in an Internet posting on Friday, a previously unknown Islamist
group claimed it was behind the bombing. Enditem |
