Multiple Blasts Hit Major Organizations In Cairo, As Blasts Also Rock Jos

One person has been killed in a bombing outside a pizzeria
in the Egyptian capital today as other blasts hit a police station and offices
of cell phone companies. The bomb tore off the legs of a citizen who was
pronounced dead at the hospital. Two other people were also injured.

As if that wasn’t enough, few hours later, another explosion
occurred outside a police station in the north of the capital, wounding a
police conscript and three passersby. Then again, bombs also went off outside the
country’s Vodafone and Etisalat office in Cairo. The blasts damaged the store
fronts but caused no serious casualties. Only two people were wounded, an
interior ministry spokesman says. The attacks were carried out by militants who
have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Back here in Nigeria today, a blast occurred at the Pharmacy
Gate entrance of the University of Jos killing many people. Another one occurred
shortly after that at a motor park in the same Bauchi road, not too far to the
school premises. We are not sure of the number of those who lost their lives in
the causality.
