Four masked Muslim Brotherhood gunmen  killed one soldier and wounded three others on Thursday and fled on two motorcycles, Egyptian officials and eyewitness said.

The rare attack on an army bus in the capital came eight months after Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi was ousted in a military coup. Previous attacks in Cairo have targeted policeman, and Thursday’s assassination of a soldier is bound to spark a strong retaliation form the regime and possibly provoke a new round of violence that has marked day-to-day life in Egypt since the rebellion against Hosni Mubarak three years ago.
