Twenty people were killed and 47 injured when a car packed with explosives intended for a militant attack blew up outside Cairo's main cancer hospital, Egypt's interior ministry has said.
The blast was first thought to have been caused when a car driving against the traffic collided with three other vehicles.
The front of the hospital suffered extensive damaged, with an entrance wrecked and rubble-strewn over the pavement. Victims' belongings were scattered among the debris.
From www.dailymail.co.uk:
Hong Kong's Airport Authority has cancelled all flights in and out of the city today after more than 5,000 protesters descended on the terminal building to denounce police violence in a new rally.
'Other than departure flights that have completed the check- in process and the arrival flights already heading to Hong Kong, all other flights have been cancelled for the rest of today,' the authority said in a statement.
The cancellation period is due to extend until 6am tomorrow morning local time.
