2014 Taba bus bombing
Terrorist attack in Taba, Egypt on 16 February 2014
The 2014 Taba bus bombing was a terrorist attack on a tourist coach in Taba, Egypt on 16 February 2014. The bus had been parked, waiting to cross into Israel at the Taba Border Crossing, when a lone suicide bomber entered the open bus and detonated his explosives.[1] Four people – three South Koreans and the Egyptian bus driver were killed, and 17 others injured.[2]
The attack was seen as marking a potential shift in the strategy of jihadist groups in the Sinai insurgency by broadening their campaign against Egyptian security forces to include tourists.
