Egypt: Hasm Group Claims Responsibility for Bomb Attack in Cairo
One officer killed and four injured in Hasm bomb attack
The militant Hasm Group has claimed responsibility for a deadly roadside bomb attack, which killed one officer and injured four others, after it struck a police vehicle on patrol in Cairo’s Maadi suburb on 17 June.
Those operating or residing in Egypt should be aware of the increase in terrorist attacks. Further attacks should be expected, including in Cairo. Maintain heightened vigilance in tourist locations and in crowded places. There is a significant security presence in most places frequented by Westerners, making a more attractive target for terrorists. Small explosions occur on a regular basis in Cairo and in other areas of Egypt. Attacks are generally directed at security forces, government buildings, police stations, metro stations, universities and tourist destinations. Exercise particular caution in and around these areas and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
