Egypt suspends tourist flights with Iran
[Ynet] Egypt has suspended tourist flights from Iran until June amid an outcry by ultraconservative Sunni Moslems angered over visitors from the mostly Shiite country. The move comes just over a week after the first flights between the two countries resumed in more than three decades.
Tourist Minister Hesham Zaazoua didn't give a reason for the suspension late on Sunday, according to comments carried by Egypt's state news agency.
