The head of Mansoura's security directorate was among the injured, Daqahliya governor Omar El-Shawadfy told Egypt's state television
Al-Ahram's Arabic site quoted an anonymous security source as saying that two bombs went off almost at the same time

A third bomb planted in another car was defused, the source added.
