Explosives go off near a tourist bazaar next to Egypt's Pyramids

[ECH1969]

Police say a man was carrying an explosive device in a sack when it went off. The man was severely injured, and investigators are trying to determine if he was taking the explosive to a nearby tourist area -- a shopping bazaar near the Pyramids.

The incident follows yesterday's series of bombings in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheik that killed at least 88 people.

Egyptian authorities have beefed up security at many tourist areas and sections of Cairo in response to yesterday's terrorist bombings.

2. Shrub has put the last great wonder of the world in the crosshairs

as a terrorist target. All this terror shit started with shrub and his dirty dealings worldwide. God, I despise this BASTARD. Wherever shithead sticks his nose, you get bombings.

4. The pyramids themselves, no.

But the old market, frequented by tourists, sure. But there was also a fairly large attack there in 1997 or '98.

3. Well....I guess Tony Blair winning the 2012 olympic schedule doesn't

look too good anymore.

Oh well.

Bless all the victims at the hands of madmen.
