US vessel 'shoots at Suez boat'

The ship was reportedly carrying used military equipment
A US container ship approaching the Suez Canal has opened fire on a small Egyptian motorboat, killing one man and wounding two others, reports say.
The Global Patriot, carrying used US military equipment, was in the Gulf of Suez when it was approached by a motorboat selling local merchandise.
Its crew apparently fired after the boat failed to heed warnings to stop when asked, the US navy said.
It added that it was in contact with Egypt through the US embassy in Cairo.
As many as 100 other local vessels are said to have gathered at the scene, carrying hawkers demanding an inquiry.
Some 7.5% of world sea trade passes through the Suez Canal, which is 190km long (118 miles) and 120m wide (395ft) at its narrowest point.
Military charter
It was after sunset on Monday when a motorboat carrying three local Egyptian traders approached the Global Patriot in the Gulf of Suez as it prepared to sail towards the Mediterranean, according to Egyptian officials.

The Global Patriot's crew are reported to have ordered the motorboat to stop and when it did not, they opened fire, killing Mohammed Fouad and wounding two others, the officials added.
A US naval spokeswoman, Cdr Lydia Robertson, said that the Global Patriot had warned the small boats to turn away "via bridge-to-bridge radio and a series of warning steps".
"One small boat continued to approach the motor vessel, which then reportedly fired warning shots."
Confirming that the incident was under investigation, she added:
"Fleet authorities are working cooperatively with Egyptian authorities through the US Embassy in Cairo."

A spokesman for Global Container Lines told the Associated Press that he had no information about the incident.
According to the US Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC), the Global Patriot is a US-flagged roll-on, roll-off container ship chartered from Global Container Lines.
In the past, it has been used by the MSC to transport a US military Patriot Missile defence battery, ammunition, and MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles around the world.
On this occasion, the Global Patriot is said to have been transporting used US military equipment from Dubai.
The BBC's Heba Saleh in Cairo says fisherman and small boats carrying hawkers ply the waters of the canal trying to sell cigarettes and other local products to ship passing through.
It is not clear why those on board the Global Patriot opened fire.
Al-Qaeda militants have in the past used small motorboats to attack US military and other foreign vessels in waters off the coast of Yemen, our correspondent adds.
28 de Agosto - La policía egipcia ha detenido a 21 miembros del primer parido opositor egipcio, los Hermanos Musulmanes, por celebrar una reunión ilegal, según fuentes de las fuerzas de seguridad del país.
Según un comunicado publicado hoy en el sitio web del grupo, los militantes fueron detenidos la noche del miércoles en una casa de Sayed Abdel Hamid, el líder de los Hermanos y antiguo parlamentario.
"Los 21 hombres fueron detenidos en la provincial de Sharqiya en la casa de un ex parlamentario y líder del grupo", declaró un agente bajo condición de anonimato.
Las fuerzas de seguridad han declarado que los detenidos eran sospechosos de pertenecer a una organización ilegal, celebrar una reunión y propagar la ideología de los Hermanos Musulmanes después de habérseles encontrado literatura prohibida de la organización.
La policía había detenido a cerca de 40 miembros del grupo en distintas acciones de este mes, según un miembro de la organización islamista.
Los Hermanos Musulmanes es el mayor grupo de oposición de Egipto. Aunque prohibido oficialmente, sus miembros se han presentado a cargos políticos como candidatos independientes y actualmente ocupan cerca de una quinta parte de los escaños del parlamento de Egipto.

Tourists hit by Cairo bomb blast
A bomb explosion in Cairo has killed a French tourist and injured about 17 other people, mostly foreign tourists.
It happened at an open-air cafe packed with tourists in the historic Khan al-Khalili area - a major attraction and home to a prominent mosque.
The device, most likely home-made, was thrown from a balcony, police say. Initial reports had suggested it had been lobbed from a motorbike.
There has been no indication so far of who is behind the attack.
'Devastating effect'
Those injured in the "relatively small" blast included 10 French nationals, four Germans and three Egyptians, according to police.
The French foreign ministry confirmed the death of one of its citizens, without giving any details of the victim.
The ministry said eight French nationals were injured in the attack.
The explosion happened near the Hussein mosque and a well-known bazaar.
This is a very crowded area with tiny streets, which is why even a small blast would appear to have had such a devastating effect, our correspondent says.
The area has now been sealed off as bomb disposal experts were sent in to defuse a second device which failed to explode.
'Plenty of enemies'
"The blast was so powerful that the earth shook underneath us," an eyewitness told Egypt's Nile News TV.
EGYPT ATTACKS
April 2006: Bombs at Dahab, on the Red Sea, kill at least 23
April 2005 : Bombing at Khan al-Khalili kills three people, including Frenchman and American
July 2005: At least 88 people die in bomb attacks in Sharm el-Sheikh, on the Red Sea
March 2005: Hungarian couple stabbed while kissing near Khan al-Khalili
Oct 2004: Bombs at Red Sea resorts of Taba and Nuweiba kill at least 34 people
1997: Gunmen fire on tourists in Cairo and in Luxor, killing 68
"We all lay down on the ground. Blood was streaming from the back of one of the people running away from the blast. I even saw a separated hand and an arm. Just shredded human flesh," the witness said.
No cars are allowed into the area but motorbikes can get around the barriers, our correspondent says.
The Khan al-Khalili area was targeted in 2005, when three people - including an American and a French tourist - were killed in a blast.
Sunday's explosion would be of huge concern to Egypt's security services, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Cairo says.
These are tense times for the Egyptian government, our correspondent says.
He adds that the government has been criticised for its stance over the recent conflict in Gaza and has many enemies.

Hermanos Musulmanes: Si ganamos romperemos el acuerdo de paz con Israel Mohamed Badie , líder de los Hermanos Musulmanes anunció que si su movimiento gana las elecciones en Egipto, romperá las relaciones con Israel.
"No estamos contentos con el casamiento ilegítimo entre El Cairo y Tel Aviv", dijo el dirigente del grupo fundamentalista islámico en una entrevista con el periódico pan-árabe Al Quds al Arabi, editado en Londres.
"Los líderes del régimen están bien al tanto que cuando lleguemos al poder muchas cosas cambiarán en Egipto, empezando por las relaciones con Israel, que nos hacen mucho daño".
"No permitiremos que los palestinos se mueran de hambre; mientras les cerramos las puertas y los israelíes entran al Sinai cuando quieren".
El líder de los Hermanos Musulmanes manifestó que hay tres fuerzas que no quieren que su organización gane las elecciones: EEUU, Israel y el régimen de Egipto que "llevan adelante una guerra contra el pueblo egipcio, conducido por nuestro movimiento".
Los Hermanos Musulmanes no tienen prácticamente posibilidades de ganar las elecciones parlamentarias en el "Don del Nilo", como llamaba el historiador Herodoto a Egipto.
En las últimas semanas, la policía y bandas armas dispersaron las concentraciones realizadas por los candidatos de los Hermanos Musulmanes, y más de mil activistas fueron detenidos
