An improvised bomb went off Wednesday afternoon outside Cairo University,injuring four policemen, a security source told Al-Ahram Arabic news website. The explosive device detonated near a faculty building across the street from the main university campus in Giza, the site of a previous deadly bombing. Those wounded have been transferred to hospitals and explosives experts have been dispatched to the scene to help diffuse other explosive devices possibly planted in the area, the source added. Bombings and shootings targeting the security forces have become commonplace in Egypt since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013. In April, a series of consecutive explosions took place at the same spot outside Cairo University, killing a senior police officer and leaving five other members of the security forces wounded. Egyptian authorities are struggling to keep a mounting insurgency, based in the border Sinai Peninsula, in check. Militant attacks have also extended to other areas, including the capital Cairo and the Nile Delta. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/113717.aspx
