| [Pak Daily Times] A shark tore the arm off an elderly German tourist at an Egyptian Red Sea resort, killing her almost immediately, security and diving officials said on Sunday, only days after sharks badly mauled four other European tourists in the waters. The German was swimming in the waters off Sharm el Sheikh, a famed diving and vacation resort in the Sinai Peninsula, when the shark attacked, Egyptian security officials said. "It was definitely a shark attack," said Hesham Gabar, the head of Egypt's Chamber of Diving and Water Sports. The German Embassy in Cairo could not be immediately reached for comment. Sunday's deadly attack comes after oceanic white tip sharks mauled three Russians and a Ukrainian tourist last week, also off the coast of Sharm el Sheikh. |
