Bomb explodes near police checkpoint in Giza
Three officers hurt in attack targeting central security force stationed on flyover in Egyptian city
A bomb exploded near a police checkpoint on a flyover in Cairo's twin city of Giza, wounding three officers, Egypt's state news agency reported.
It quoted an interior ministry spokesman as saying the explosion hit a truck belonging to the central security force that was stationed on the flyover.
Egypt has seen a spike in attacks, often targeting police, since the military ousted Mohamed Morsi as president. Many have been claimed by a Sinai-based al-Qaida-inspired militant group.
Last week a new group calling itself Ajnad Misr, Arabic for Egypt's Soldiers, claimed responsibility for several such bombings.
