Source: ABC News

A bus full of foreign tourists was bombed Sunday near Egypt's famed pyramids of Giza, injuring several passengers, authorities said.

The explosion happened as the tour bus was driving passed the Grand Egyptian Museum, close to the pyramids in Giza, officials said.

The bus was headed to the nearby Movenpick hotel when an improvised bomb believed to have been planted by the side of the road detonated, officials said.

"We are aware of a reported attack on a tourist bus in the museum complex near the Pyramids of Giza area, resulting in injuries. We are not aware of any injuries to U.S. citizens at this time. Please avoid the area and monitor local media for updates," officials at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo said in a message posted on Twitter.
