Tourists hit by Cairo bomb blast
A bomb explosion in Cairo has killed a French tourist and injured more than 20 other people, mostly foreign tourists.
It happened at an open-air hotel cafe packed with tourists in the Khan al-Khalili area - a major attraction and home to a prominent mosque.
The device, most likely home-made, was thrown from a balcony, police said. Initial reports had suggested it had been lobbed from a motorbike.
The tourist killed was identified as a 17-year-old girl by French authorities.
There has been no indication so far of who is behind the attack.
'Devastating effect'
Those injured in the "relatively small" blast included 10 French nationals, four Germans and three Egyptians, according to police.
The French foreign ministry confirmed the death of one of its citizens.
"The victim was 17 years old and had travelled with a group of young people from Levallois," foreign ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying. Levallois-Perret is a suburb of Paris.
Eight French nationals were injured in the attack, the French ministry said.
Six of the more than 20 people hurt are thought to be in a serious condition.
The early evening explosion happened near the Hussein mosque and a well-known bazaar, in what is a historic area.
This is a very crowded area with tiny streets, which is why even a small blast would appear to have had such a devastating effect, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Cairo says.
It is thought the bomb was thrown from an upper floor of the hotel, our correspondent says.
But news agencies have also quoted a report from the Egyptian state news service Mena, which said the bomb had exploded under a bench.
The area has now been sealed off, as bomb disposal experts were sent in to defuse a second device which failed to explode.
