Security forces have foiled an attempt to assassinate State Security Prosecution Attorney General Tamer al-Fergany, whose car had been rigged to blow at the State Security Prosecution headquarters.
Two men, who claimed they were lawyers, managed to pass through security, go to the garage where the car was parked and plant the bomb. They were filmed by surveillance cameras.
The State Security Prosecution has already requested tighter security from the Interior Ministry due to previous similar attempts.
