A wave of bombings and shootings has targeted Egypt's security forces since the army ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last July.
Interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim escaped unhurt when a car bombing targeted his convoy last September in Cairo.

Most militant attacks have been in the restive Sinai Peninsula, but in recent months brazen attacks have also been launched farther afield in the Nile Delta and in the capital.
