Cairo - Egyptian security officials say a suicide bomber was
behind the deadly blast that tore through a bus carrying South
Korean tourists.
They say the bomber boarded the bus while it waited near the
Egypt-Israel border crossing at Taba in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Egyptian driver and the South Korean guide had
disembarked but were close to the bus when Sunday's blast
took place, according to the officials.
The Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity
Monday because they were not authorized to speak to the
media
South Korean officials say the bombing killed three South
Koreans and an Egyptian driver. The tourists were Korean
Christians who had saved for years to visit Biblical sites on
their church's 60th anniversary.
