Egypt blames Brotherhood for bus attack

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s army blamed the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood for an attack on an army bus which killed one officer and wounded three others in the capital on Thursday. The Muslim Brotherhood strongly condemned the attack in an emailed statement, saying the targeting of army soldiers and civilians is a “heinous crime that requires a thorough and transparent investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.” An army spokesman said in a statement posted on Facebook: “Masked armed men belonging to the terrorist Brotherhood targeted a bus of the armed forces... which led to the martyrdom of the warrant officer Yusri Mahmoud Mohamed Hassan.”
