IRO - A bomb has exploded at an Egyptian military intelligence building in the Nile Delta, injuring four soldiers, an army official says.
Officials said the explosive device went off at the entrance of the building in Belbeis, a town 100 km (65 miles) north of Cairo in Sharkiya province
The state-run Nile News TV station said it had been caused by a car bomb. A suicide car bomb attack on a police compound killed 16 people on Tuesday in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura.
An army statement said Sunday's blast had partially destroyed the back wall of the building.
"We will most probably not have any deaths," Reuters news agency quoted a security source as saying..
It was the latest in a series of attacks that have targeted the security services since the army deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in July.
The government declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organisation following Tuesday's attack, which was condemned by the group and claimed by a radical Islamist faction called Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis.
Five people were also wounded by a bomb that went off near a bus in Cairo on Thursday. That appeared to be the first targeting civilians, though there was no claim of responsibility saying what had been targeted.
