| 2 | Cairo: An Islamic State affiliate claimed responsibility for the bombing of a local branch of the Egyptian security agency in Cairo on Thursday the third major attack by militants in the capital this summer. |
| 3 | At least 20 people were wounded in the explosion, which was heard across the city around 2am and shredded the exterior of the building. |

| 5 | The Egyptian Interior Ministry said in a statement that the source of the blast was a car bomb that had been left outside the white, five-storey structure by an unidentified man who then fled on a motorcycle. |
| 6 | The government of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has struggled with a wave of unusually brazen militant attacks this summer, including by jihadis who have pledged loyalty to Islamic State operating in Syria and Iraq. |
| 7 | Militant groups in Egypt intensified their campaign against the government about two years ago, after authorities killed hundreds of people while breaking up Islamist protest camps in the capital. |

| 9 | Despite a strong counter-insurgency campaign by the government, the militants have demonstrated a persistent ability to carry out complex attacks on the military and other government security installations, and they have broadened their attacks to include civilian targets and tourist attractions. |
| 10 | This month, Sinai province, another affiliate of Islamic State and Egypt's most active militant group, said it had beheaded a Croatian who was working in Egypt - the first time the group is known to have killed a foreign captive. |
| 11 | Mr Sisi signed a sweeping anti-terrorism bill on Sunday that officials said would expedite trials of militants. |
| 12 | Critics of the legislation said it did little to remedy flaws in the military's counterinsurgency campaign but provided legal cover for a crackdown on opponents of the government. |
| 13 | A wounded man is carried from the site on Thursday. |
| 14 | In a statement posted on Twitter accounts tied to militants, the group that claimed responsibility for the bombing Thursday called itself Islamic State, Egypt. |
| 15 | A statement from a group using that name has appeared at least once before, after a blast at the Italian Consulate in Cairo last month that killed one person. |
| 16 | The group said that the bombing on Thursday, in the working-class neighbourhood of Shubra al-Kheima, was carried out in retaliation for "the martyrs of Arab Sharkas" - a reference to the government's execution this year of six men in connection with attacks on Egyptian security forces. |
| 17 | People are seen through the window of an apartment heavily damaged by a massive car bomb in Cairo. |
| 18 | "Know that we are a people who do not forget our revenge," the statement added. |
| 19 | Egypt has witnessed a recent increase in attacks against tourism targets, including a suicide bombing near the ancient Karnak temple in Luxor in June. |
