CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian security officials say a large bomb has exploded near a national security building in the Shubra neighborhood of Cairo.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. For blocks around the blast site, glass from blown-out windows could be seen on the street.

The bombing comes amid a wave of attacks and killings this summer, including the assassination of Egypt's attorney general by a car bomb in Cairo.
