Egyptian security forces have arrested three people suspected of planning last week's suicide bombing in a Cairo bazaar, which killed three foreigners.

The Egyptian Interior Ministry says the suicide bomber who carried out the attack was identified as an Egyptian from the Nile Delta region of Qaliobya, north of Cairo.

It added that the bomber planned the attack along with three detained accomplices.

The three suspects have already appeared before an investigating magistrate.

Earlier, Prosecutors described the attack as an "isolated act", indicating the suspects were not working in concert with the Al-Qaeda network.
