A car bomb in Cairo's downtown went off late Tuesday, injuring pedestrians and causing damages to a number of shops. The private car was parked near the metro station in Ramses Street in the vicinity of the High Court Building. The area, which has witnessed recurring violence over the past three years, is usually crowded and bustling with street vendors. An official injury toll is yet to be revealed while no deaths have been reported. Many cities in Egypt were hit by bomb attacks over the past year following the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013. While the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, denies any involvment such attacks, other Islamist groups claimed responsibilities for some of the attacks, including Al-Qaeda-inspired group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, or (Partisans of Jerusalem). http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/113118.aspx
