The bomb blasted in front of the Italian consulate in central Cairo on Saturday, killing at least one person. It is claimed that it was a car bomb.The force of the blast shook a building in downtown Cairo and was heard in nearby neighborhoods.
Reports say that, the bombing was the first assault on a foreign mission in Egypt since jihadists launched a campaign against security forces two years ago. Militants have carried out scores of attacks since the army overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013, killing hundreds of policemen and soldiers mostly in the Sinai Peninsula.
