The official says the blast took place during Friday prayers near al-Istaqama mosque in a busy square in the heart of Giza.
Police sealed off the entire district and diverted traffic as security forces searched for the culprits.

The official says the wounded, including a policeman, were rushed to a nearby hospital. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing.
