Cairo, June 30 (RHC)-- Two bomb explosions have struck near Egypt's presidential palace in the capital, Cairo, leaving two police officers dead. According to the Egyptian Interior Ministry, a colonel was killed and several policemen injured on Monday when a bomb they were trying to defuse exploded.

Later, as policemen cordoned off the area and tried to defuse another explosive, another explosive device went off killing a lieutenant colonel. Several officers were also reportedly wounded in the incident. It was not immediately clear whether President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was in the Ittihadiya Palace when the explosions took place.

The attacks come after several days ago a militant group warned that it had planted explosives near the presidential palace in the capital.
