CAIRO: Four Egyptians were killed and another wounded when a device accidentally exploded Wednesday at a mechanical workshop in the low-income Cairo neighborhood of Imbaba, security sources said. An 18-year-old mechanic, Radi Mahmum Abdul Latif, was using the silver-coated metal device to try to unscrew part of a car when it went off, killing him, two other mechanics and the car s owner. Abdul Latif s brother and owner of the workshop, Mohammed Mahmud Abdul Latif Abu Radi, reportedly told police he had bought the device from a scrap metal merchant and had no idea it was explosive. Security sources said they thought the object might have been an old anti-aircraft rocket. AFP
