The terrorist Ajnad Masr group has claimed responsibility for the blasts that took place on Monday in the vicinity of Ettehadiya Palace.
“God enabled our heroic soldiers to plant the IEDs inside Ettehadiya,” the group said through Facebook.
The group added that it warned civilians in a statement last Friday not to go near the palace.
On Friday, the group reportedly announced planting a bomb inside the palace that targets a security planning meeting. It also said that other bombs were placed in the vicinity of the palace to target troops who would rush to the scene.
“Two bombs were placed in the bushes at the corner of the palace at the intersection of Ahram street and Marghany road,” the group added.
