TUI Germany, part of Europe's largest tour operator TUI Travel, announced Wednesday it has cancelled all excursions to Luxor for the time being, following the suicide bombing at the city's famed Karnak temple earlier in the day. The attack - the second this month at or near a major tourist attraction in Egypt - has raised concerns for the country's tourism industry. TUI's spokeswoman Anja Braun says further measures would depend on guidance issued by the German foreign ministry, the Associated Press reported. She added that the resort Red Sea city of Hurghada has been by far the most important destination for German TUI customers. On Wednesday morning, a suicide bomber targeted the temple of Karnak in Luxor. Police shot dead one of two suspected militants who arrived at the scene with the suicide bomber. The second was wounded and is in police custody. No tourists were hurt and the temple was not damaged.
