Islamists have killed six people in a bomb blast on a road used to transport tourists to the pyramids in Egypt.
The explosion rocked a checkpoint near a mosque in the western Talibiya neighbourhood of the Egyptian capital Cairo shortly before Muslim Friday prayers this morning.
All of the victims were police officers either in or near their car while four civilians were hurt when the device went off near a bin.
The bloodied bodies of several policemen could be seen at the scene next to police vehicles that had been stationed there.
The bomb went off on Pyramids road, the main avenue leading from the city centre out to the Giza pyramids.
