BOMB-THROWING IN CAIRO.
AMI - BRITISH OUTRAGES.
ATTACK ON HEADQUARTERS.
MISCREANTS IN MOTOR-CAR. By Telesrr&ph—Press Association—Copyright. A. and N.Z. CAIRO. March 5. Two daring bomb outrages were perpetrated on Sunday evening. The miscreants dashed through the city in a motor-car, and hurled bombs 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, and used to be the Edin Palace Hotel. If the second bomb had exploded it would have disorganised the whole British communications in Cairo district. The city is astounded at the daring nature of the outrages, which is the worst bombing attempt yet made. The bombers escaped, though the British headquarters are strongly guarded. It is. understood that grave steps are contemplated as a result of the outrage. Six members of the executive of the extreme Nationalists, who signed an inflammatory manifesto, have been arrested in connection with the outrages.
