Cairo bus bombing injures 14 tourists
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO, Egypt — A bomb apparently
aimed at a tour bus exploded Tuesday on the
road to the Giza Pyramids, killing an Egyptian
and wounding 14 people, including five
British tourists.
There was no immediate claim of responsi
bility, but the blast appeared to be the work of
Muslim extremists who have targeted tourists
and Egyptian officials in a 11/2-year campaign
against the secular government.
The attack occurred as a state security court
held a second session in the retrial of radical
Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and 48 others on
charges stemming from a 1989 demonstration
that turned violent.
The cleric is the spiritual leader of al-Gamaa
al-Islamiya, or Islamic Group, which has been
blamed for much of the recent violence. He has
been in the United States since 1990. Some of
his followers there have been implicated in the
Feb. 26 bombing of New York's World Trade
Center.
Police said Tuesday's bomb was thrown
from a railroad overpass on the road leading
to the Giza Pyramids, 5 miles away.
Salah el-Derwy, a Tourism Ministry
spokesman, quoted police as saying the dead
Egyptian was in a car ahead of the bus, which
authorities said was the apparent target. Both
the bus and car were heavily damaged.
The state-run Middle East News Agency
quoted Interior Ministry experts as saying the
bomb consisted of a metal container packed
with explosives and nails.
One of the injured tourists, John Cook, told
London's Independent Television: "There was
a blast and all the windows caved in. The
coach driver stopped, the young Egyptian
courier (tour guide) was sitting in front of us ...
and she was very badly injured."
Cook said the injured Britons suffered
mainly facial cuts.
Dr. Rizk Ahmed Mahmoud, director of al-
Haram Hospital, said the group's Egyptian
tour guide required surgery to stop internal
bleeding from a lung injury.
He told The Associated Press that four of
the tourists suffered only minor scratches and
bruises.
The fifth had shrapnel removed from his
chest and would require further treatment, he
said.
The Interior Ministry said eight other Egyp
tians were wounded by the bomb. It said one
was in serious condition.
Similar bombings have been blamed on the
Islamic Group.
A bomb packed with nails exploded at a
Cairo cafe Feb. 26, hours before the New York
explosion, killing a Turk, a Swede and an
Egyptian.
That was the first reported use of such a de
vice by the extremists. Since then, three of the
four bombs that have gone off in the Cairo
area have been primed with nails to maim and
kill.
Reduced alcohol content
has pub regulars foaming
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Regulars at the corner pub have a new excuse to
drink just one more pint before heading home, but they're not hap
py about it.
Brewers have decided to cut the alcohol in many of their beers to
avoid paying higher taxes under laws that came into effect last week.
The new regulations require duty to be based on the volume of
alcohol in beer. Previously it had been based on the beer's original
sugar content.
Brewers said the the new regulations could have reduced their
annual revenue by $30 million. Consumer watchdogs complained
that they were watering down a favored British pastime.
"Brewers are behaving no better than (pub) landlords who use a
watering can on their barrels," said Iain Dobson, chief executive of
the populist Campaign for Real Ale.
Bass, Britain's biggest brewer, said Monday it would reduce the
alcohol content in 19 of its 63 brands, but won't change the 4.1 per
cent volume of Carling Black Label, the country's best-selling lager.
Most reductions are slight — Worthington Best Bitter's alcohol
content is being reduced from 3.8 percent to 3.6 percent, and canned
Tennents Pilsner will drop from 3.5 percent to 3.4 percent alcohol.
Courage, the second-biggest brewer, plans to cut the strength of
nine brands.
The National Consumer Council said big brewers should tell cus
tomers of their plans to cut the alcohol content of some beers.
"They should be advertising this fact widely — not trying to slip
weaker beer past their customers without telling them," director
Ruth Evans said.
'Agent of God' kills WWII Nazi
Vichy chief assassinated
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Rene Bousquet, the Vichy police chief who sent thousands
of Jews to their deaths in World War II, was shot to death in his apart
ment Tuesday. Police arrested a man who said he acted as "an agent of
God."
The assassination occurred on the verge of an expected trial for the
84-year-old Bousquet, accused of persecuting Jews as an agent of Mar
shal Philippe Petain's collaborationist regime.
The self-professed gunman said he feared Bousquet would never be
brought to trial. At a news conference he called shortly before his ar
rest, Christian Didier compared Bousquet to "a cockroach, a serpent."
Police officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, named Didier
as the killer, saying his gun fired the bullets that killed Bousquet and
that he was identified by workers in Bousquet's apartment building.
Didier, 49, had no reported connection to Bousquet. He served four
months in jail for trying to smuggle a revolver into a Lyon prison in
1987 to kill Gestapo officer Klaus Barbie, the notorious "Butcher of
Lyon."
Many French had wanted Bousquet to divulge, for the courts and
history, Vichy's role in deporting some 76,000 Jews. Only 2,500 sur
vived.
Justice Minister Pierre Mehaignerie said a ruling was expected in a
few days that could have led to prosecuting Bousquet for crimes
against humanity.
Jewish leaders who fought for years to bring him to court said the
shooting robbed Holocaust survivors of justice.
"Perhaps the killer believed he was exercising the will of the vic
tims," said lawyer and Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld. "But their will was
to see him brought to court. This is a distressing event."
