ALEXANDRIA — Suspected militants bombed three police stations in Egypt's second city Alexandria on Tuesday, wounding 10 people, and also targeted two other locations, an interior ministry official said. Nobody was injured in the two other blasts in the eastern part of the city, said Major General Amin Ezz Al-Din, assistant interior minister for Alexandria. Frequent small-scale attacks have hurt Egypt's efforts to project an image of stability after four years of turmoil triggered by the 2011 Arab Spring uprising. Egypt hosts an investment conference next month in the resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh, in the southern Sinai Peninsula, and hopes to attract funds to turn around an economy battered by instability. The Egyptian affiliate of the self-proclaimed Islamic State group, the militant group controlling large parts of Syria and Iraq, has claimed responsibility for attacks on security forces in Sinai that killed at least 30 people late last month. — Reuters
