AT least 14 people were killed when a powerful explosion rocked an Egyptian police headquarters in a city north of Cairo early today.

The blast was believed to be caused by a car bomb, and Egypt's interim government accused the Muslim Brotherhood of orchestrating the attack, branding it a "terrorist organisation".
