8 Wounded In Blast At Cairo Tourist Area
Egyptian police say a bomb detonated outside a historic Cairo mosque in the crowded bazaar area frequented by tourists, wounding at least eight people.
Blood stains could be seen in the front courtyard of Hussein mosque, next to the famed Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Islamic Cairo.
Riot police had cordoned off the area and sniffer dogs could be seen as worshippers were being evacuated.
A security official said police were attempting to defuse a second bomb.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.

Trash like Mubarak, the Saudi royal family, Abbas and his cohorts, and pretty much the entire leadership in the Arab world should be put against a wall with their families and riddled with bullets by a firing squad.
They have sold out their soul to the US and Israel devil and no mercy should be shown to them.
Over 90% of Palestinians live in and around Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.
Barely 50% of Jews live in Israel.
The Crusaders lasted 300 years in Palestine, the Turks 400 years, the British 150 years and now that little piece of Zionist s.h.it pretends to take over the area.
But this is OUR TURF and the Zionists will never have the desire, the patience, the discipline to fight it out as we do.
WE WILL ALWAYS BE LIKE BROKEN GLASS IN YOUR F.UC.KI.NG THROATS!!!
PALESTINE FOREVER AND FOREVER PALESTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
the sooner we rid conservatives from government the
sooner the earth can begin to heal.

You wonder why Israel closed off Gaza. They should have destroyed it completely.
