Egypt's Daqahliya Security Directorate headquarters reopened Saturday following more than two years of reconstruction after the building was hit with deadly bombings in late 2013.
The directorate’s operations were temporarily run out of the state-owned Talkha fertiliser company in Daqahliya.
The directorate building was struck with bomb blasts in December 2013, killing 15 people and injuring 134, in the aftermath of the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi earlier that year.
Nine policemen, two civilians and three unidentified individuals were among the dead.
The explosions ripped through the building's side façade and damaged a number of police vehicles and parts of adjacent buildings, including the city council building, a state-owned theatre and a bank.
