According to the early reports 30 were only killed , but again these are early reports and since the morning I am reading fearful numbers of 164 injured
The Iranian and Egyptian Embassies have at last agreed on one thing : No one has been hurt from the employees of the Embassies , the thing which has been assured by a short statement from the ministry of Foreign affairs in Cairo from short time !!
We can’t be so sure because just from few minutes the reporter of Al-Arabiya News Channel has said that the Egyptian Embassy’s head of security has been killed in the attack !! “ May Allah bless his soul” I think he could be an Iraqi.
Anyhow may someone please remind me why we re-opened our embassy again despite we have not found the dead body of our late Ambassador that was brutality murdered from couple of years ago if you recall that sad incident !!
Update :
- It turned out the blast happened in our consulate not our embassy which still is under construction.
- 4 Egyptians have been injured.
- The Iraqi security men who protected the consulate were killed , I feel very sorry for them and for their families
- For some reason the Egyptian National TV did not mention that the embassies of Germany and Iran were attacked as well !!
- Here is a photo gallery showing the bomb site near the Egyptian consulate.
- Also here is a video showing few seconds before the blast in front of the Iranian Embassy
