Bomb explodes at Cairo traffic sentry post, wounds three policemen: Sources

Cairo - No one claimed immediate responsibility for Monday's bomb, in which a health ministry spokesman confirmed three people were wounded.

Three police were wounded on Monday when a bomb exploded under a traffic sentry post near a Cairo court house, security sources said, in the latest in a series of attacks to hit the Egyptian capital.
The explosion occurred in the affluent northeastern Heliopolis district, they said.
Egyptian authorities have pledged to end a wave of militant violence that has swept across the country, but sporadic attacks on high-profile locations in the city and elsewhere have continued.
No one claimed immediate responsibility for Monday's bomb, in which a health ministry spokesman confirmed three people were wounded.
A two-year-old insurgency centred on the Sinai Peninsula has killed hundreds of soldiers and police since the army ousted President Mohammed Mursi after mass protests against his rule in 2013.
Sinai Province, which has pledged allegiance to the militant Daesh movement that has taken over swathes of Iraq and Syria, is the most active group.
The violence is undermining efforts by the Egyptian government to revive investment and foreign tourism crucial to the economy and stability of the Arab world's most populous country.
While the insurgency is concentrated in the Peninsula, which lies between Israel, Gaza and the Suez Canal, violence has also hit the capital.
Egypt's top public prosecutor was killed by a car bomb attack on his convoy in late June, the most senior state official to die at the hands of militants in two years.
Attacks have also targeted some of Egypt's tourism sites, including the Karnak temple in Luxor.
