UN Security Council criticise deadly terrorist attack in Egypt

The UN Security Council on Sunday strongly condemned a terrorist attack on a tourist bus in south Sinai in Egypt, which killed four people, including three South Korean tourists. It called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. "The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist attack targeting a bus with tourists from the Republic of Korea on board on 16th February, 2014 in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, killing at least four people and injuring dozens," the 15-nation UN body said in a statement. The Security Council also extended condolences to the families of the victims and expressed sympathy to those injured in this "heinous act," and to the people and governments of Egypt and the Republic of Korea. A bomb exploded in the front part of a bus carrying South Korean sightseers near an Egyptian border crossing to Israel in southern Sinai on Sunday, killing three tourists and an Egyptian driver.
