Egypt tourist bus blast kills three

An explosion on a tourist bus has killed at least three people in the Sinai peninsula, Egyptian police say.

The bus blew up after it entered Egypt from Israel. South Korean tourists were said to be among the dead.

Israeli police said they heard an explosion from the Egyptian side of the Taba border crossing. Officials have not said what caused the explosion.

Militants in the Sinai have stepped up attacks since the army overthrew President Mohammed Morsi in July.

Mr Morsi appeared in court on Sunday to face charges of espionage and conspiring to commit acts of terror.

The Islamist former leader is facing four separate trials, three of which have now opened.
