Fire in Sayyeda

Fire in Sayyeda

This is not looking good at all, the sky over Sayyeda Zeinab mosque keeps getting darker...I've also been hearing blasts with flames shooting up, as if gaz bottles inside that building blew up. Let's hope that Cairo's fire fighters are up to it, I start to hear their sirenes, finally.

Update: The smoke is gone.
