Calm has prevailed again in the vicinity of el-Sayed el-Badawi shrine in the Nile Delta city of Tanta after two blasts occurred earlier on Thursday, Tanta security chief said.
Osama Bedir said residents began to flock to the shrine to take part in the final celebrations of el-Sayed el-Badawi's Mouled (birthday).
Eleven people have been wounded when two home-made explosive devices went off near the shrine in Gharbiya province.
A Security source at the Ministry of Interior said in statements to MENA the blasts smashed the glass of some shops in the area, pointing out that a third explosive charge was deactivated.
Security forces clamped a siege on the area.
