Two German tourists have been killed in stabbings at a hotel beach in the popular Red Sea resort of Hurghada, Egyptian officials say. The ministry said the assailant was arrested immediately, but the motive for Friday's attack in Hurghada was still under investigation. A similar attack took place in Hurghada in January 2016 when two attackers armed with a gun, a knife and a suicide belt landed on the beach of a hotel, wounding two foreign tourists, according to security sources.
Two female tourists are killed and four others are wounded in a mass stabbing attack at a hotel in Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate. The attacker is detained.
