CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's interior minister said a bomb attack on his convoy on Thursday was "not the end but the beginning" of a new wave of terrorism, but that the authorities would win out. Responding to a question on whether the attack marked the start of "a new wave of terrorism", Mohamed Ibrahim said: "What happened today is not the end but the beginning". He added that citizens needed to take care. (Reporting by Ali Abdelatti; Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
