The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) affiliate in Egypt known as Sinai Prince claimed responsibility for the attack on Italian Consul in Cairo.
"Soldiers of the Islamic State in Cairo were able to detonate a parked booby-trapped vehicle laden with 450kg of explosives at the headquarters of the Italian consulate," SITE reported, quoting ISIL on Twitter as saying on Saturday.
"We advise Muslims to stay away from these security dens, because they are legitimate targets for strikes of the mujahedeen," the ISIL statement said.
Health ministry spokesman Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said Saturday's blast killed a civilian and wounded nine people, including policemen and passers-by.
