Hurghada stabbing attack tops coverage of Egypt in the foreign press

The stabbing attack in Hurghada on Friday that left two German women dead and four other tourists injured is leading the conversation on Egypt in the foreign press this morning. The attack, for which no group has claimed responsibility thus far, “came at a time when the country’s battered tourism industry, a vital source of foreign currency, was starting to see a modest revival,” the New York Times’ Declan Walsh says. The Financial Times’ Heba Saleh also noted that the attack was a “setback to Egypt’s tourism industry, which has only recently started to recover.” Bloomberg and the Associated Press also have coverage, while Deutsche Welle has a timeline of Egypt’s deadliest terror attacks, starting with the 1997 Luxor Massacre.
