Two Vietnamese tourists were killed and 12 other people were injured when a bomb blast hit their bus on Friday less than three miles from Egypt’s world famous Giza pyramids, authorities said.
Ten of the injured were Vietnamese tourists and two were Egyptians, the driver and a tour guide, an Interior Ministry statement said.
The bus was hit by an explosion from an improvised device hidden near a wall, the ministry said.
About two hours later, the bus could be seen behind a police cordon with one of its sides badly damaged and the windows blown out, a Reuters reporter said.
Dozens of police officers and firefighters were at the scene, on a narrow sidestreet close to the ring road.
The police are investigating, the ministry said.
