Egypt's Minister Mohammed Ibrahim survives bomb attack
Egypt's Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim has survived a bomb attack that targeted his convoy in Cairo, the BBC reported.
Hours later, he appeared unharmed on state TV to denounce the attack as a "cowardly assassination bid."
Security guards and a child were among the injured in the attack, which took place near his home in Nasr City.
No-one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. Muslim Brotherhood leader Amr Darrag said the group "strongly condemned" what happened.
Mr Ibrahim heads the police force, which has carried out a crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood protests in recent weeks.
Nasr City is a stronghold of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group.
