Egypt: 16 killed in firebomb attack at small nightclub

A firebomb attack on a small nightclub in Cairo early Friday killed 16 people and wounded three others, authorities said.
Police were looking for two young men who carried out the attack in the Agouza district because they were previously not allowed to enter, state news agency MENA reported.
The attack happened at the El Sayad restaurant, which is not officially a nightclub but is among Egypt's small local eateries that skirt taboos around drinking in this predominantly Muslim country by serving food and alcohol throughout the day, then turning into a bar until the early morning hours.
