Third Incident: Metro Bombing
Later on 28 February 2009, at least one firebomb was thrown from a bridge at a passing train on the Cairo Metro. The attack took place near to the Line 1 station of Helmiet El-Zaitoun, near Ain Shams in north-eastern Cairo. The perpetrators fled the scene, and witness reports identified the suspects variously as a single man or two boys. No one appeared to be hurt, and the incendiary devices may have failed to detonate.

Famous quotes containing the word bombing:
“The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
