CAIRO, March 26 (Aswat Masriya) Two unidentified men threw a bomb at a police station in Cairo on Wednesday morning, which damaged parts of the building but no injuries were reported.

The two men were riding a motorcycle when they attacked the Shubra al-Khaima police station, according to Security Director Mahmoud Yousri.

Repeated attacks against security personnel intensified since the army's ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July, which was prompted by mass protests against his rule.
