A bomb-disposal expert had a part of his leg amputated Monday after he was injured attempting to diffuse an explosive device near a police club in Sharqia governorate, Youm7 reported.
Another bomb, planted outside the same club, went off this morning leaving no injuries.
Bomb squad experts have been deployed hundreds of times across Egypt to deal with “suspicious objects” found by citizens amid series of attacks on police facilities that have escalated since the 2013 ouster of President Mohamed Morsi.
