Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim will hold a press conference on Thursday afternoon to announce the results of investigations into the bombing of Mansoura Security Directorate in Daqahlia, which resulted in the death of 17 people and the injury of more than 100.
The Supreme State Security Prosecution started interrogating five suspects in the incident on Wednesday and charged them with murder, joining a terrorist group intended to commit acts of sabotage and possessing explosives.
The defendants denied the charges during interrogations except two who confessed to joining Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, but denied taking part in the bombing of Mansoura or possessing explosives.
