A bomb struck a bus packed with South Koreans near Egypt’s border with Israel, killing four people, signaling that militants may be expanding a deadly campaign against security forces to the vital tourism industry.
Three Koreans and the Egyptian driver were killed in the blast in the Sinai Peninsula town of Taba, and 13 people were wounded, according to government statements. The Interior Ministry said the bus had been in a parking lot after returning from St. Catherine’s Monastery, a popular tourist destination. It wasn’t clear where the bomb had been planted, and no one claimed responsibility.
