Blasts at Cairo University kill two - security officials
- 10 years ago
At least two people are killed in a series of explosions outside Cairo University Wednesday.
Security sources say a police brigadier-general is among the dead, in what appears to be the latest militant attack in a fast-growing insurgency.
While arrests have been made, no one is immediately claiming responsibility for the attacks.
Islamist militants have carried out many similar operations against security forces since the army ousted President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood last July.
In the aftermath comes the outrage.

A man standing performing his job, what did he do wrong? A student going to university, what did he do wrong to deserve this? Why? The people responsible are neither Egyptian, nor Muslim."
