An American citizen died early Friday from wounds sustained in the Cairo bomb blast, taking the death toll from the attack to three, a U.S. Embassy spokeswoman said. Micaela Schweitzer-Bluhm said several Americans were targeted in Thursday's explosion in a packed bazaar area in Cairo's old city, which also killed a French woman and another person whose identity has not yet been revealed. "One of the Americans has died as a result of the wounds from the bombing early this (Friday) morning," Schweitzer-Bluhm said. She provided no further details, including how many Americans had been injured. Egypt's Interior Ministry has said that nine Egyptians and nine foreigners _ including four Americans _ were wounded in the blast in the al-Moski bazaar, a maze of narrow alleys with shops selling jewelry, souvenirs and clothes connected to the biggest tourist souq, Khan al-Khalili. Brig. Gen. Nabil al-Azabi, head of security in Cairo, said one of those killed at the scene may have been the bomber.
