A French teenager was killed and 17 others in her visiting school group were injured when a bomb tucked beneath a bench exploded in a bustling Cairo bazaar last night, the Times of London reports. Police later dismantled a second device in a souvenir market. Three suspects are in custody. French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed "deep sorrow" for the attack. A Muslim cleric called the attackers traitors who "are distorting Islam's image." (More Cairo stories.)
