A Jihadist armed with a gun, knives and a suicide belt have wounded three tourists at the entrance of a hotel in an Egyptian Red Sea resort.
The attacker wearing a suicide bomb was killed while the second attacker was seriously wounded. The dead attacker is a 21-year-old student from the Cairo neighbourhood of Giza. The attackers were reportedly carrying an Isis flag.
The slain attacker, he said, appeared to want to take a female tourist hostage, dragging her into the hotel's lobby with his knife held against her neck when he was shot dead by a policeman.
The attack came just hours after the local affiliate of the Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack a day earlier in a hotel in Cairo.
