UPDATED: Fayoum Bomb Killed Four Assemblers: Security Source

A bomb detonated on Friday in Egypt’s Fayoum governorate killing four, reported Al-Ahram Arabic website.

A security source told Ahram that the four people killed were assembling the device in a poultry farm.

The police are trying to determine the identity of the dead, according to the source.

A ministry of interior statement said that the farm is owned by a Muslim Brotherhood supporter.

One person was also killed and another wounded Thursday morning when a makeshift bomb blew up in a village near Cairo, a security source has told Al-Ahram Arabic news website.

The bomb, which detonated almost an hour after dawn in Kerdasa, on the capital’s western outskirts, killed a man who was suspected to have been carrying it, the source said.

One person was also injured in the blast that came almost an hour after two primitive bombs went off minutes apart near two police posts in Cairo’s working class district of Imbaba, causing no casualties, according to state news agency MENA.

Hours earlier, another minor explosion took place near a military hospital in Cairo’s Abbasiya district, leaving one wounded.

Bomb attacks against police and army personnel have occurred frequently since the ousting of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi a year ago.

Meanwhile, the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, a pro-Morsi grouping of Islamist parties which have called for demonstrations on Friday to mark the one year anniversary of his ousting has denied any links to bomb attacks.

Two people were killed and 24 injured during political violence on Thursday, according to a health ministry official.
