Five people were killed and at least 80 wounded as a car bomb exploded outside the police headquarters in Cairo today.
A second explosion was later heard in the Egyptian capital’s Dokki district.
The powerful first blast was felt across Cairo and black smoke could be seen rising over the city centre.
The blasts come on the eve of the third anniversary of the 2011 uprising that led to the removal of the country’s long-term ruler Hosni Mubarak.
No group has said it was behind the attacks.
The banned Muslim Brotherhood and its partners are planning demonstrations after Friday prayers across the country.
