Cairo official says shooting attack is criminal, not terror

An Egyptian official says the people who opened fire with fireworks and rubber bullets at Israeli Arab tourists on a hotel close to the Giza pyramids — causing some damage to the hotel’s facade and a nearby tourist bus — did so for criminally motivated reasons.

He says the attack was “not terror,” according to Walla.
