Explosions Rock Egypt

Numerous different explosions occurred in Egypt earlier today, one of which took place right outside of the Police headquarters in Cairo killing 4 and leaving 50 wounded. Two other explosions happened near two other police stations in the Cairo area as well. Some of the explosions can be seen via video surveillance on the link below. Some of those in the immediate area were quick to link the attacks to the Muslim Brotherhood but they quickly issued a statement condemning the attacks and denying any participation in them. Most of the recent attacks have been aimed at Police or security forces, leading the Egyptian government to believe that the Muslim Brotherhood is indeed involved in them. In total at least 5 were killed from the three blasts and more than 60-70 have been injured.
