Security remains high outside a hotel in an Egyptian Red Sea resort town where two foreign tourists were wounded in an attack carried out by two assailants.
The attackers armed with a gun, a knife and a suicide belt attacked the beachside Bella Vista Hotel wounding a tourist from Denmark and another from Germany.
They said the attackers had arrived by sea to launch the onslaught on the hotel, but that security forces had repelled the assault, killing the attacker wearing the suicide bomb.
However, the Interior Ministry gave a very different account, saying two assailants with knives had wounded two Austrians and a Swede.
It said one of the attackers was a student from the Cairo suburb of Giza.
