"Seven tourists were reported to be injured in Saturday's incidents, which came less than a month after a bomb near Cairo's well-visited central bazaar. Two French tourists and an American died in that attack. The government sought yesterday to play down Saturday's attacks as 'isolated'. Dr Ahmed Nazif, Egypt's prime minister said the attack did not signal the return of violent Islamist militancy. 'I do not think this will be a pattern in Egypt. I am positive that our society and the security services are able to maintain security and safety,' he said.
In spite of his reassurances, the main tourist sites of Cairo were reported to be quiet with few tourists venturing out."
