another bomb in Egypt

This time on a public bus in suburban Cairo, HERE. (And that’s a first, by the way.)

If you missed it, the police station in Mansoura (a mid-sized Nile Delta city where I’ve been once) was hit by multiple bombs the ohter day, with nearly 20 killed and well over 100 injured.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organization.

I was actually expecting to see an urban terrorism campaign this summer, but other than an attempt to car-bomb the Interior Minister in September, most of it was confined to the Sinai. Now we may start to see terrorism spreading into the civilian cities in the more populous parts of Egypt. I hope not, but do fear that Egypt is headed for an ugly period in its history, one that could take a few years to play out.
