The radical Islamist group Ansar Bayat al-Makdis, who claimed responsibility for the Sunday terrorist attack in Taba, demanded that foreign tourists immediately leave country.

As follows from the statement published in the organization's microblog, tourists have only 2 days to fulfill the ultimatum. Everyone who remains in Egypt after February 20, the members of the group promise to kill at the first slightest opportunity. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry once again asked our fellow citizens who are going to the Cradle of civilization to be vigilant and not to leave the resort zones

"Expressing our condolences to the families and friends of the victims, and the wishes of the prompt recovery to the victims, we reaffirm our principled position of resolute condemnation of any terrorist acts , including those directed against foreign tourists . We reiterate our solidarity with the actions of the leadership of the Egyptian Republic to stabilize the situation, its re Steps to Counter Terrorism and Extremism . We consider it necessary to confirm the earlier recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia addressed to Russians in Egypt for tourist purposes, to be cautious, not to leave the resort zones and to avoid visiting large cities and areas where there is an increased terrorist and criminogenic danger "- the website of the department says .

We remind that on February 16, a suicide bomber blew up a bus from the South Korean near the Israeli-Egyptian border Kimi tourists. Four people died, including an Egyptian driver

In the refund of money Pegasus refused, referring to the fact that until our departure there was only a week . Russia offers to fly to Egypt at your own risk !!! MFA, what are you waiting for ? The terrorist attack, which directly affects Russian tourists? We are afraid for objective reasons to go on vacation, the country that hosts holidaymakers can not ensure their safety, what penal sanctions from the Egyptian hotel in case of refusal of the tour in less than 14 days can we talk about?
