Tourist Trap

Foreign visitors are no longer immune to the dangers of the simmering terrorist campaign being waged by Egypt’s Muslim fundamentalists. A safari van filled with tourists came under a fusillade of small-weapons fire near Dairut, 168 miles south of Cairo. Sharon Pauline Hill, 28, from England, was struck by several bullets and died within 20 minutes. Two other British passengers received light flesh wounds. The Gama’a el-Islamiya, one of the most radical fundamentalist groups in Egypt, claimed responsibility in a brief statement given to reporters.
