Body of suspected suicide bomber in Cairo blast found

The body of a man suspected to be the suicide bomber behind the explosion in Cairo’s Security Directorate was found on Friday.

Police created a security cordon around the body, outside the main gate of the security directorate building.

The body is of a man with a shaved head whose facial features have been obscured due to fatal injuries from the explosion, and his fingers were blown off, reported Youm7.

Security forces found a piece of clothing nearby, possibly a jellabiya – a traditional loose garment, which is believed to have been worn by the man.

Following the bombing, which left three dead and 35 injured, security forces intensified their presence at the vicinity of the Ministry of Interior building and Lazoghly Square.
