A roadside bomb has struck a tourist bus near the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, killing at least two people and injuring 12 others.
Two Vietnamese visitors died when the homemade device ripped through the bus after it was concealed behind a wall, officials said.
Another 10 of the 14 tourists from Vietnam were hurt in the explosion while two escaped without physical injuries.
The bus driver and the tour guide, both Egyptian, were also injured after the explosion at 6.15pm local time (4.45pm GMT).
Pictures from the scene showed the side of the bus ravaged by the explosion, near the country’s historic landmarks.
Officials said the bus was travelling in the Marioutiyah area near the pyramids on Friday when the roadside bomb went off.
The improvised explosive device was placed near a wall along a street, officials said this evening.
Security services were immediately dispatched to the area and have opened an investigation into the explosion.
