Militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis on Tuesday claimed the suicide bombing in Egypt of a tour bus that killed three South Koreans and their local driver.
"One of the heroes of Ansar Beit al-Maqdis carried out the attack on a tourist bus heading towards the Zionist entity (Israel)," said a statement attributed to the group and posted on jihadist forums.
The bombing on Sunday, near the Taba border crossing with occupied Palestine, was the first targeting tourists since the military overthrow of President Mohammad Mursi in July sparked a militant campaign that has killed scores of police and soldiers.
