Shooting attack on tourist bus in Egypt

CAIRO: Within two hours of a bomb blast near the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo, Egyptian officials said two women opened fire at a tourist bus and one of them was shot dead by area guards. At least two persons were killed in the attacks and at least 10 were injured. One person was killed in the explosion and police, who initially reported the second incident as an explosion, later said it was two veiled women who had opened fire on a tourist bus. Egypt's Health Minister, Mohammed Awad Tag Eddin, told reporters two women had opened fire and one of them was killed. He identified those wounded in the explosion as three Egyptians, an Israeli couple, a Swedish man, and a 26-year-old Italian woman. — AP
