Egypt’s capital Cairo has been rocked by a series of blasts killing at least two people, including a senior military police officer. <br /><br />Exclusive euronews footage showed the immediate aftermath of one of three explosions across the city on Wednesday. <br /><br />No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks, but they bore the hallmarks of Islamist militants.<br /><br />A video, posted on an Egyptian newspaper’s website, also showed the moment just after a second explosion hit Cairo University. A brigadier general was killed in the blast which also injured several officers. <br /><br />Bombings and shootings targeting the security forces have become commonplace in Egypt since the army deposed President Mohammed Morsi. <br /><br />Euronews’ correspondent in Cairo, Sheikhibrahim Mohammed, said: ‘‘It is evident security in the heart of Cairo has deteriorated hugely. The big challenge facing Egypt’s incoming president is to restore calm, which is so desperately desired by the people here.’‘
