Writing Assignment #1 (part 2)

A bombing in Cairo this past Sunday left many injured and one Frenchwoman dead. No one has admitted to being responsible, but the police have detained three people as suspects. Attacks have been made in this area for a few years now.

If these attacks have been going on for so long I don't understand how the authorities don't have leads or more suspicions as to who is responsible for them. How many people need to be injured, or worse, before a serious investigation takes place? I don't know the full background, so i can't judge too harshly, but the article does not list reference of any previous suspicions prior to this attack. I can only assume by the lack of arrests that any investigations thus far haven't been incredibly successful.

Perhaps the top tourist locations that are the targets of these attacks should have more/better security because of the incidents that have occured. It is a short article so there isn't much to go off of. In summary, higher security in the previously targetted areas, and areas of high tourism that have yet to be attacked, may be a good idea.

  1. The never-ending nature of these terror attacks is truly frustrating.
