(14 Jul 2017) The two tourists who were stabbed to death in a Red Sea resort were German, not Ukrainian as previously said, according to an Egyptian security official.
The official said that four other foreigners were wounded in Friday's attack at a hotel in the Egyptian resort of Hurghada.
He also said the wounded included citizens of Ukraine and the Czech Republic. Earlier, another security official had said that the wounded were from Serbia and Poland.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorised to speak to the media.
The contradictory information reflects the confusion in the immediate aftermath of the attack involving foreigners in one of Egypt's most popular resorts.
In Germany, the foreign ministry said it "cannot rule out" that German citizens were among the victims, but that it didn't yet have that information. The German Embassy in Cairo is in close contact with Egyptian authorities to clear that up.
