Egyptian police killed 40 suspected terrorists in a crackdown today (December 29, 2018), after a roadside bomb hit a tour bus claiming the lives of three Vietnamese tourists and an Egyptian guide, according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.
Thirty alleged terrorists were killed in separate raids in Giza province, home to Egypt's famed pyramids and the scene of last night's deadly bombing, while 10 others were killed in the restive North Sinai, the interior ministry said.
It said authorities had received information the suspects were preparing a spate of attacks "targeting state institutions, particularly economic ones, as well as tourism, armed forces, police, and Christian places of worship."
A security source said the raids took place early this morning, hours after last night's bombing of the tour bus.
