Egypt's public prosecutor said today that the bomber who killed two tourists in a Cairo bazaar earlier this week acted alone.
"The investigations have proven that this was the act of an individual, not a group," said prosecutor Maher Abdel Wahid.
The victims killed by the bomb were a French woman, and an American man as well as the bomber.
According to a Reuters article,
"Eleven Egyptians and eight foreigners were wounded in the evening bombing in the crowded Cairo bazaar where shops sell perfume, jewelry, carpets and souvenirs to tourists.
Abdel Wahid said forensic scientists went back to the scene of the attack on Saturday to look for parts of the bomber's hands, which were missing from the unidentified body, so that they can take fingerprints.
He said detectives had already taken DNA samples."
The bombing was the first fatal attack on tourists in the area in 8 years.
