Egypt today carried out the first death sentence handed down over the violence that erupted after the army's 2013 overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, the interior ministry said.

One person was killed in a bomb explosion outside a pizzeria in the Egyptian capital today, after three other blasts hit offices of cell phone companies, a health official said.

A bomb exploded near a bus in Cairo on Thursday injuring five people, a day after the government widened a crackdown on Islamists by declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group.

A police general was killed when Egyptian security forces stormed a village on the outskirts of Cairo today in the latest crackdown on Islamist militants, security officials said.
