The American embassy in Egypt on Tuesday called on its citizens to take precautions following a deadly bombing in a tourist bazaar in Cairo last month, adding more attacks could be planned. A French teenage girl was killed and two dozen people injured in the February 22 bombing in the Khan el-Khalili market, where five days later an American teacher suffered slight injuries when a man knifed him in the face.
"These events do not appear to be connected, but there is some indication that additional incidents are planned," a statement on the embassy's website said, according to AFP. It listed a third incident on February 28 in the Cairo metro, where a man threw incendiary bottle that failed to explode.
"We advise Americans to take great care in visiting these sites, to remain strictly alert to their surroundings, and to practice good personal security measures," it said. "Travellers should use caution when visiting destination resorts and hotels without significant... security procedures," the statement added.
