At least four persons suffered injuries in a bomb blast on Cairo's underground train that transfers passengers on Halwan-Almarj route.
The blast, caused by an explosive charge planted in the luggage compartment, tore off upper part of the train carriage, said spokesman of the metro service, Ahmad Abdulhadi, in remarks to the official Middle East News Agency.
Earlier, a military spokesman said eight military personnel have gone missing since Wednesday, when naval and air forces traded gunfire with armed elements off the city of Dimyat. Five troops were also wounded in the clash.
He also said four gunboats used by the gunmen were destroyed and 32 gunmen were arrested.
