South Korea Warns Its Citizens against Travel to Egypt's Sinai

We cannot curb the feelings of resentment," said a Monday statement by the South Korean Foreign Ministry in connection with its three dead and 14 injured nationals on the tourist bus targeted Sunday by a terrorist attack in the South Sinai town of Taba.

South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se requested his Egyptian counterpart Nabil Fahmy to begin investigations immediately while the statement assured that South Korea will cooperate with the Egyptian government and international community to uncover the terrorists behind the attack, Ahram Online reported.

South Korea has also issued a warning against visiting Egypt's coastal areas overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba in the Sinai Peninsula and recommended its citizens leave those areas without delay.

Carrying tourists of various nationalities, the bus was en route from Saint Catherine to Taba when the blast occurred.

The Sunday bus blast is the first attack to target tourists since a terror campaign that continues to rock the country began following the ouster of President Mohamed Mursi in July 2013.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
