Four killed in attack on tourist bus in Egypt
Four people have been killed in a bomb attack on a tourist bus in the Egyptian resort of Taba.
The device was detonated either inside or close to the bus killing three South Koreans and an Egyptian, believed to be the driver, reports the BBC.
Fourteen South Koreans were also hurt in the attack, which came as the bus was preparing to cross into Israel.
The bus was reported to be heading into Israel from St Catherine’s monastery, a popular tourist destination near Mount Sinai, when it was attacked on Sunday.
The passengers were members of a church group on a 12-day tour of religious sites in Turkey, Egypt and Israel, the South Korean news agency said.
Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou said he was "very disappointed" by the attack and hoped it was an isolated incident that would not be repeated.
South Korea has since issued a travel ban on the Sinai region.
