A car crashes into three other cars…

August 2019 CE

A car crashes into three other cars causing an explosion outside the National Cancer Institute Egypt in Cairo, Egypt, killing at least twenty people and injuring forty-seven others, on August 4, 2019.

The next day, Mahmoud Tawfik, the Interior Minister of Egypt, will state that the car contained explosives and was to be used in a terrorist operation.

The explosives-filled car had been on its way to commit an attack in another part of the capital.

Tawfik will accuse the Hasm Movement of carrying out the bombing, but the group will deny the allegations.
