At 7am on 18 April 1996, four Islamists carried out a mass shooting against a group of 88 Greek tourists outside the Europa Hotel in Cairo, Egypt.[1][2] Eighteen people were killed - 17 Greek tourists and one Egyptian.[1] The victims were outside the hotel, about to board a bus to Alexandria.[1] Al-Jama'a al-Islamiyya claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that they thought the tourists were Israelis.[1] The Egyptian Sunni jihadist group carried out attacks in the 1990s, some of which targeted tourists.[1]
