The April 2005 attacks were three related incidents that took place in the city of Cairo, Egypt, on 7 April and 30 April 2005.
The latter two incidents are generally considered to have been minor, in that they caused no loss of life other than those of the perpetrators and appear not to have been planned in advance; in the first attack, however, three bystanders were killed.
Ehab Yousri Yassin, an Egyptian man suspected of involvement in the 7 April attack was being pursued along the Sixth of October Bridge, a flyover leading into centre of Cairo from the River Nile island of Gezira.
The medieval city of Cairo was bounded on the north by a wall complex.
It is the oldest surviving Fatimid structure in Cairo.
The Citadel (al-Qal'a or al-Burg) is a fortress built just outside the eastern wall of the medieval city by the Ayyubid Sultan Salah al-Din between 1171 and 1182.
