A little-known group calling itself the “Giza Popular Resistance” claimed responsibility for the attack on Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat in front of his home on its Facebook page.
On Monday morning, a bomb detonated in Ammar Ibn Yasser St., Heliopolis near to Millitary College injuring Barakat, two civilians and other security personnel.
Barakat reportedly has a broken nose and a dislocated shoulder.
He is being treated at Al-Nozha hospital in Heliopolis.
