Monitoring group: IS claims responsibility for Cairo bombing


.

CAIRO (AP) — An Egypt-based affiliate of the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a Sunday bomb attack in the capital, Cairo, which wounded two people.

The claim was reported late Sunday by SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based group that monitors militant websites. It could not immediately be verified.

The bomb exploded near a building that housed administrative offices for Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and caused minor damage to the structure. Egypt's state news agency MENA said the two injured people were rushed to a nearby hospital.

Egypt faces a burgeoning insurgency. Attacks claimed by the Islamic State group have primarily targeted security forces in the restive northern Sinai.

Last month in Cairo, a car bomb claimed by Islamic State militants ripped into a national security building in a residential neighborhood, wounding at least 29 people.
