Gunmen attack Egyptian tour bus; nine dea
riday • Septen
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Three
men in white shirts and ties strode
calmly up to a bus as German
tourists climbed aboard Thursday
— then pulled a gun and explo
sives from a black plastic bag. Ten
people were killed in a hail of gun
fire and firebombs that set the bus
ablaze.
The noontime attack — which
police blamed on Muslim radicals
— sent frightened tourists and by
standers streaming in panic from
Cairo’s Egyptian Museum, a major
tourist landmark that contains
one of the world’s greatest collec
tions of Pharaonic antiquities.
Police fired on the gunmen,
wounding and capturing two of
them. A third suspect was arrested
nearby as hundreds of people fled
the museum, famed for its rich
gold artifacts from the tomb of
King Tut.
There was no immediate claim
of responsibility, but police de
scribed the gunmen as Muslim ex
tremists. The attack came three
days after Egypt convicted 72 peo
ple of subversion in its largest trial
yet of Muslim extremists.

attacked
“I saw one man hurl a Molotov
cocktail at the left side of the bus,
while another opened fire,” said
Mohammed Fadl, an office worker.
“There was black smoke coming
out of the bus, and then it burst into
flames.”
“The whole place was in panic,”
said Stephen Thomas, a Briton who
was visiting the museum with his
wife and two children.
Another witness, an American
from Buffalo, N.Y., who gave his
name only as Mark, said the gunfire
continued “for what must have
been 10-15 minutes. It was crazy,
people were running.”
Other witnesses said the gun
men threw one firebomb under the
bus and another inside.
Twenty-four people were
wounded, including seven hospi
talized in stable condition in Qasr
el-Aini hospital, police said. Offi
cials said other victims were
treated and released, but had no
details.
More than 30 German tourists
were already on the bus when the
gunmen opened fire shortly after
noon, when the museum was
crowded with visitors and nearby
Tahrir Square was jammed with
pedestrians and vehicles.
After the attack, two bodies, one
riddled with bullets, lay across the
stairs of the charred bus, its tires
melted and its windows blown out.
Seven other bodies were inside,
some sprawled across the aisles. A
tenth victim died after being re
moved from the bus.
There was a disagreement over
the nationalities of the dead: police
said nine were Germans and the
other was the Egyptian bus driver.
But German officials said only sev
en of the dead were German. Police
said six of the dead were women
and four were men.
After the attack, hundreds of po
licemen carrying plastic riot
shields, assault rifles tipped with
tear gas canisters and rifles sealed
off the downtown museum to
search for the gunmen.
Mahmoud Hamdy, the driver of
a tour bus parked nearby, said the
attackers wore white shirts and ties
and looked just like any other
Egyptian tourist agent working in
the area.
A police statement identified
two of the suspects as Saber Farhat
Abu el-Ulla and his brother Mah
moud. It said Saber Abu el-Ulla was
convicted of a 1993 attack on a
Cairo hotel that killed two Ameri
cans and a Frenchman, and was
committed to a mental institution
after being ruled mentally ill.
The police statement said
Saber Abu el-Ulla had escaped
three days ago. But police officials,
speaking on condition of
anonymity, said he had been re
leased after spending two years in
the institution.

Police officials said Saber Abu el-
Ulla told interrogators Thursday’s
attack was to avenge posters de
picting the Prophet Mohammed as
a pig distributed by a Jewish ex

The incident has been widely
condemned in the Muslim world,
as well as by Israeli leaders.
Thursday’s attack came three
days after a court convicted 72
people of subversion in Egypt’s
largest trial of Islamic extremists.
Four of the defendants were sen
tenced to death and eight to life
imprisonment.
More than 1,100 people have
been killed during the Muslim mil
