Six tourists wounded in Egypt beach resort stabbing

Two Ukrainian tourists were killed and four other tourists wounded by an attacker with a knife at an Egyptian holiday resort in Hurghada, though the motive for the attack was still under investigation, Egypt's Interior Ministry and security sources said on Friday.

The assailant has been arrested and is being questioned to determine his motives, the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said a preliminary investigation showed the man appeared to have swam from a nearby public beach to access the holiday resort.
