Gun attack on Tourist coach

Post by Horus »

Gun attack on Tourist coach at a Cairo hotel is on the UK breaking news, reports are saying no dead, but not much more info at present. I am sure it will be made clearer as the day goes on, but if that sort of thing is starting to happen then goodbye Egyptian Tourism ....... again! :urm:

Not according to the Sky coverage Ruby, the words still being used are "opened fire on a tourist coach outside a Cairo hotel going to the pyramids" :tk

Just started watching the news here. Nothing on our TV about this yet. We're too busy talking about China and their economy and dropping oil prices.

Am sure Egypt is wanting to minimize anything and everything that is happening there. Terribly sad that these attacks keep happening. Only a matter of time IMO 'til there is a big one at one of the major tourist resorts.

It is an inevitability the way things are going in the world with Daesh and Egypt has plenty of supporters of its own who no doubt will take any opportunity offered them.

I still haven't seen anything on the news about it here.

I'm amazed that there has not been anything happen in one of the major tourist centers on the ground around a swimming pool. Am sure if Egyptian authorities have thwarted anything IN any of these places they've kept it so tightly under wraps not a word has been issued about it. Wouldn't even be surprised if Egyptian Newspapers have been seriously warned not to print a word about any attacks so unless something is picked up by an outside source it is kept mum like it never happened.
