A CAR BOMB HAS TARGETED THE CONVOY OF EGYPT’S INTERIOR MINISTER, MOHAMMED IBRAHIM, BUT FAILED TO HARM THE POLITICIAN, THE SECURITY FORCES SAY.

At least four people were reported injured in the blast, which media reports call an assassination attempt.

State-run Al-Ahram paper said the minister’s convoy was targeted as it travelled through Nasr City.

Nasr City is a stronghold of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group, but there is no word on who was involved.
