Cairo, 24 Feb-(ANA)-Security services in Cairo believe a small Islamist cell carried out Sunday's deadly bombing, according to Egypt’s leading daily al-Ahram.
Three people have so far been arrested, but no charges have been brought, and there are no claims of responsibility.
Investigators are focusing on a three- or four-member cell, according to the newspaper.
It was the first attack on foreigners in Egypt since 2006. A French student was killed and 24 people were wounded.
Analysts are quoted saying the bombing was an unsophisticated attack and was unlikely to signal a wide resurgence of Islamist militancy in Egypt.
It did not compare with the bombings which killed more than 100 people in tourist resorts in Sinai between 2004 and 2006, reports say.
Al-Ahram said the bomb was home-made and weighed up to 1.5kg, containing nails and metal fragments. It was detonated with a timer and had been placed on a marble bench. (ANA)
