Police apprehend alleged terrorist near US embassy: Police arrested yesterday a 24-year-old man (pdf) carrying what investigators believe was a homemade bomb that caught fire in the vicinity of the US embassy in Cairo. The man was allegedly intending to “commit an act of aggression.” There was no damage and no casualties reported. The US embassy went back to business-as-usual once the police cleared the scene.

The story is topping coverage of Egypt in the international press this morning, with pickups by Bloomberg, the Express, and the Associated Press.
