The blast that took place Thursday near el-Sayed el-Badawi shrine in the Nile Delta city of Tanta was a "despicable, terrorist" act, Gharbiya Governor Mohamed Naeim said.
In statements to MENA, Naeim said that such coward act was aimed at terrorizing goers of 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.
