Outrages in Cairo
BOMB EXPLOSIONS. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS ATTACKED. GRAVE STEPS CONTEMPLATED. IBy Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.} , (Received 6, 9.35 a.m.) Cairo, March 5. Two daring bomb outrages were perpetrated on Sunday evening. Miscreants dashed through the city in a motor-car and hurled a bomb into a cafe which is much frequented by British soldiers, killing an Egyptian waiter and wounding three British soldiers who were having a meal. They then threw a bomb into the signal room of the British army headquarters, which is nearby. It used to be the Eden Palace Hotel. If the second bomb had exploded it would have disorganised the whole of the British communications in the Cairo district. The city is astounded at the daring nature of the outrages, which are the worst bombing attempts yet made. The bombers escaped though the British headquarters, were strongly guarded. It is understood that grave steps are contemplated as a result of the outrage.
