Suicide bomber strikes Egypt tourist attraction
A suicide bomb attack has been carried out on an
ancient site popular with tourists in the Egyptian
city of Luxor.
The explosion happened at the Temple of Karnak,
which alongside the pyramids, is one of the most
popular destinations for foreign visitors.
There is no information yet on casualties.
Police claim to have foiled two other suicide
attacks which also targeted the site next to the
Nile.
It is the first attack on a tourist attraction in Luxor
since 1997, when Islamic militants killed 58 people
after opening fire on tourists at the city’s 3,400-
year-old Hatshepsut Temple.
