| At least 12 people, including foreigners, have been injured in a bomb explosion in the Egyptian capital Cairo, police say. | |
| They said the blast happened outside a cafe in the historic Khan el-Kalili area popular with tourists. | |
| It was a relatively small blast and was most likely caused by a home-made explosive device, police say. | |
| The explosion occurred near the Hussein mosque and a well-known bazaar which was crowded with shoppers. | |
| The area has been sealed off as bomb disposal experts are trying to defuse a second device which failed to explode, reports say. | |
| So far no-one has claimed responsibility for the blast. | |
| The area was targeted in 2005, when three people - including an American and a French tourists - were killed in a blast. | |
| Sunday's explosion would be of a huge concern to Egypt's security services, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Cairo says. | |
| These are tense times for the Egyptian government, our correspondent says. | |
| He adds that the government has been criticised for its stance over over a recent conflict in Gaza and has many enemies. | |
