Update: 14 deaths and 130 injured in Mansoura explosión till now

A huge explosion hit the Daqahliya security directorate early on Tuesday in Mansoura, Nile Delta, killing at least eight and injuring 85 in what seems to be the worst explosion yet since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.

The injury and death tolls, which are expected to soar with eyewitnesses saying causalities are still inside the damaged building, were revealed by Hisham Masoud, General Manager of Mansoura’s hospitals.

The head of Mansoura's security directorate was among the injured, Daqahliya governor Omar El-Shawadfy told Egypt's state television.

Al-Ahram’s Arabic site quoted an anonymous security source as saying that two bombs went off almost at the same time. The first bomb, he says, was planted in a higher floor in the building, the second in a car next to the security directorate.

A third bomb planted in another car was defused, the source added.

Photos of the Daqahliya security directorate were posted on Al-Ahram’s Arabic site shortly after the blast, showing the exterior walls of the building badly damaged. Vehicles parked in the area were also destroyed.
A good number of bombings have been executed across Egypt since the ouster of Islamist president Morsi on 3 July.Hmmm....Shall we see again Coptic blood running down the streets at Christmas?
