Cairo - An explosive detonated as it was being carried by a man several kilometres from a tourist bazaar next to the Pyramids of Giza on Sunday, police said. The man was severely injured, but the blast caused no other casualties.
The incident came amid heightened fears of attacks on tourists in Egypt after Saturday's string of simultaneous bombings in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik, 400 kilometres east of the capital. Security was hiked up in many parts of Cairo, including around the Pyramids.
Investigators were trying to determine whether the man, identified as Sami Gamal Ahmad, 33, was taking the explosive to the nearby tourist area of Kerdassa, a bazaar of souvenir shops near the Pyramids, a senior security official involved in the investigation said.

"An explosive detonated as it was being carried by a man several kilometres from a tourist bazaar next to the Pyramids of Giza on Sunday, police said. The man was severely injured, but the blast caused no other casualties."
Yet more evidence to support my *theory* that suicide bombing volunteers are in such short supply that terrorist "handlers" are resorting to detonating the bombs being carried by mere transporters.
In Britain, nine primed but unused bombs were found in the car of one such "bomber." In Iraq, recent car bombers have been found with their hands tied to the steering wheel. In Israel, one Palestinian was even *unable* to detonate his bomb (not even the blasting cap).

The explosive made from acetone that was used in London is apparently very prone to premature detonation. That's why it isn't widely used (outside the Muslim fraternity).

He must be almost as bright as the 1993 World Trade Center bomber who returned to Ryder for the deposit on his rental truck.
