A roadside bomb has injured at least 14 people in Egypt, near the Giza pyramids. The blast took place on 19 May near a sightseeing bus, which was carrying 25 South African tourists. The device also hit a car carrying four Egyptians. In Iraq, two bombs have killed three people, including one child, and wounded six others since Friday. In December, a bomb attack near the pyramids killed four people. Egypt depends on tourism for nearly 20% of its GDP, though the sector has been affected in recent years by security issues and political instability.
