On 8 January 2016, two suspected militants, armed with a melee weapon and a signal flare, allegedly arrived by sea and stormed the Bella Vista Hotel in the Red Sea city of Hurghada, Egypt, stabbing two foreign tourists from Austria and one from Sweden.[1][2] (Early reports incorrectly stated that the victims were one German and one Danish national.)[3] One of the attackers, 21-year-old student Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Mahfouz, was killed by police as he tried to take a woman hostage. The other attacker was injured.[4] The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility.[5][6]
