String of small morning explosions in Cairo hurt eight

CAIRO (Reuters) - Eight people were hurt in northern Cairo when homemade explosive devices blew up at four metro stations and a courthouse on Wednesday morning in the first attacks in Cairo since Abdel Fattah al-Sisi became president earlier this month.

Three people were slightly wounded when a device - described by officials as "primitive" - exploded at Shubra El-Kheyma station in a northern district of Greater Cairo during morning rush hour, security sources said.
