CAIRO, Mar 25 (Aswat Masriya) - A 10-year-old girl was killed on Wednesday when an explosive device detonated outside her school in Fayoum south of Cairo, a top security official said.
Fayoum Security Director Younis Omar el-Gaher told Aswat Masriya that he was notified of the girl's death, after the explosion happened outside the elementary where the girl was playing.
Bombings and shootings have surged since July 2013, with the vast majority of them taking place in North Sinai, although other parts of the country have been hit.
Attacks in general target security forces but civilians have been affected.
