Islamic State’s affiliate in Egypt claimed responsibility for a car bombing in Cairo that wounded 29 people and illustrated the group’s ability to press its campaign of violence in defiance of a government crackdown.
The bombing Thursday was meant to avenge the reported execution in May of six group members convicted in an attack on military forces, according to a statement by the Islamic State’s Sinai Province. The release on social media couldn’t be independently authenticated.
