Egyptian police detain 11 suspects after bomb attack

EGYPTIAN police have detained 11 people for questioning about the bomb which killed a French teenager and wounded at least 21 people near a popular tourist bazaar in Cairo on Sunday.

The detainees, all Egyptians, were in the area on Sunday evening around the time of the explosion and were taken into custody overnight and yesterday morning, police added.

The sources did not say if the police had any hard evidence against the detainees. After security incidents, Egyptian police usually cast their net wide and then release most of the people they question.
