DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 7, 2016, 12:57 PM (IDT)
A gunman with an automatic weapon opened fire on a bus carrying foreign tourists, including Israeli Arabs, in front of the Three Pyramids Hotel, and on the hotel itself, in Cairo on Thursday afternoon.

The hotel is located next to the Pyramids of Giza.
