The bomb was placed outside the Italian Consulate destroyed its entrance on Al-Galaa street and its façade. The Italian consulate complex in downtown Cairo includes a cultural center as well a social club. [link to english.ahram.org.eg] Ok, last one before trying to get another couple hours of sleep. We will see if anyone will "claim" it. Will update again later. People still haven't learned to look past the MSM hype during any major event and instead inform themselves.

And it is not even operating Saturday, only Sunday-Wednesday. So the 6:30 am bombing on a Saturday in Ramadan where nobody is outside on the street yet is very suspicious. Still guessing they were heading somewhere else originally. And the 1 dead must be the Terrorist driving the bomb around.

User ID: 69702309 United Kingdom 07/11/2015 02:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wouldn't be surprised if there's a connect with the Tunisia incident. It's not a big secret about the WH not being happy with Egypt over the MB being crushed by both the Egyptian people and military. Also, I can see the potential connect with the Sinai combat actions as of late. Arab Spring Redux 2.5 maybe? The Italian connection seems to be tenuous at best. Italy just happened to draw the short end of the NATO stick. GLADIO ops? That's a valid option too. Whatever the case may be, someone has given the green light to conduct guerrilla warfare ops against Egypt and soon, that region as a whole. The loyalties are divided in terms of alliances and the spin doctors are no doubt, at work on the script to be released to the world at large. The blame game will be instituted and the likely suspects will be named either directly or indirectly to cause confusion and chaos amongst the masses... Quoting: NobleSix Stay frosty.: Yes there is a connection to the Tunisian incident. But will you believe and value it if you are told. And does your heart really want to know.

That being this action was purely for the chaos and psychological factor. The creation of fear and anxiety for the sake of and nothing more. The rabid dog attack, if you will. Thought I'd toss that option out. It's unlikely though.

A security official for state news agency MENA said a car bomb caused the blast. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the explosion.

I would suppose they have locked up the MB by now but there are so many agencies.... ....I just wanted to see Egypt, Cairo Museum, the temples, Alexandria.... it doesn't look to promising right now. Stay safe Egyptians. |
