The social media platforms in the US were replete with anti-Muslim conspiracy theories after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concluded that a car explosion near a bridge near Niagara Falls that links US and Canada was not connected to terrorism. Two people died in the incident.

The FBI said late Wednesday (Nov 22) in a statement that the matter will be monitored as a traffic investigation.

"FBI Buffalo has concluded our investigation at the scene of the Rainbow Bridge incident. A search of the scene revealed no explosive materials and no terrorism nexus was identified," a statement from the agency read.

Many initially believed it to be a terror incident&nbsp;

The explosion prompted many, including the Department of Homeland Security, to suspect that it might be a case of terrorism.

But New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday evening at a press conference said there was no evidence linking it to terrorism.

She also told reporters that there was no indication of any explosives at the scene. Her remarks were later echoed by the FBI.

However, some started connecting the whole incident to a plot to sabotage the upcoming Thanksgiving, when holiday-related travel between the US and Canada is at its peak.

A midnight explosion following a car crash outside a hospital in central Cairo has left 20 people dead and 47 injured, the health and interior ministries said on Monday.

The intensity of the blast at the city's main cancer hospital raised fears of an attack, but officials said it was the result of a car accident.

Reuters video of the aftermath showed considerable damage to the front of the hospital, with an entrance wrecked and rubble-strewn over the pavement. Victims' belongings were scattered among the debris.

The blast occurred when a car driving against traffic on Cairo's Nile corniche road collided with three other cars, the interior ministry said in a statement.

It triggered a blaze that forced the partial evacuation of the National Cancer Institute, the health ministry said.

One local resident, who gave her name as Salwa, said bodies had been fused together by the explosion and it was hard to believe it was the result of a car crash.

"There was a sound of an extremely loud blast. It was no way two cars crashing. The car must have been rigged with explosives," she told Reuters Television.

Another witness, who declined to give his name, said the car's driver ran away before it exploded.

Later in the morning, investigators scoured the scene amid a heavy police presence.

Egypt's public prosecutor is investigating the incident, sources told Reuters.

Egyptian security forces are waging a counterinsurgency campaign against Islamist militants, some with links to Islamic State, that is focused in the north of the Sinai Peninsula.

Attacks outside Sinai have become relatively rare, although there have been several security incidents in recent months in Giza, across the Nile from central Cairo.

In May, an explosion targeting a tourist bus injured at least 12 people, mostly South African tourists, near the Giza pyramids. In December, three Vietnamese tourists and an Egyptian guide were killed, and at least 10 others injured when a roadside bomb hit their tour bus near the pyramids.
