March 24 (UPI) -- A bomb placed under a parked car exploded early Saturday in Alexandria, Egypt, killing two policeman and wounding five others in what is believed to be an assassination attempt on the city's senior security chief.
The bomb was placed under a parked car and exploded as Mostafa El-Nemr's convoy was passing, killing the two officers, ages 45 and 19, and injuring about five other policemen. El-Nemr was unharmed in the blast, which shattered windows, damaged parked cars and could be heard several neighborhoods away, according to witnesses.
