Egypt arrests 17 for plotting attacks

CAIRO - The Egyptian authorities arrested 17 people on Wednesday on charges of possessing explosives and weapons, and for planning attacks, security sources said.

The group -- also charged with belonging to a banned Islamist organisation, Jihad -- was arrested in Mansoura, north of the capital Cairo, the sources said.

A bomb attack in February killed a French teenager in Cairo. It was the first such fatal attack on tourists in Egypt since bombs killed at least 23 people at an Egyptian resort in the Sinai peninsula in 2006.

Tourists please don't go middle east countries. Do you want to be killed. Why don't you come to sub-Saharan African countries which are peaceful?
