"Three Vietnamese tourists and one Egyptian killed, 10 injured in bus blast in Giza, Egypt
CAIRO: Three Vietnamese holidaymakers and an Egyptian tour guide were killed Friday (Dec 28) when a roadside bomb blast hit their bus less than 4km from the Giza pyramids outside Cairo, officials said.
A statement by the public prosecutor's office said 11 other tourists from Vietnam and an Egyptian bus driver were wounded when the homemade device exploded.
Egypt's tourism industry has been struggling to recover from terror attacks and domestic instability that has hit the country in recent years.
In July 2017, two German tourists were stabbed to death by a suspected jihadist assailant at the Egyptian Red Sea beach resort of Hurgada.
In October 2015, a bomb claimed by a local affiliate of the Islamic State group killed 224 people on board a passenger jet carrying Russian tourists over the Sinai peninsula.
That incident dealt a severe blow to Egypt's tourism industry still reeling from the turmoil set off by the 2011 uprising that forced veteran leader Hosni Mubarak from power.
The pyramids of Giza are the only surviving structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world and a major tourist draw attracting visitors from across the globe."
1 min u r enjoying the sights n sounds of the dessert looking forward to the lights n spectacle of the Giza Pyramid at night n then: "Boom! N u r dead!!"o
What bad luck or what the hell happened after one paid top dollar to be here?
No one claimed this brutal deadly crime against innocent tourists who hv no bloody interest whatsoever abt who is right n who is wrong in the Egyptian society! All they r here is to spend money without being killed!!
Do u wish the same for yourself when u deliberately travel to a country to appreciate their culture n got blown to pieces!!??
The recovering tourism will b hit again!!
Blessed the dead. Condolences to the surviving family members n friends. Speedy recovery to the injured. N good sucesses with the remaining salvage n recovery team members!!
