Shark Attack in Egypt

A female French tourist was attacked and killed by an Unknown shark
while diving in a remote site off Egypt's Red Sea coast on June 2 , 2009.

It was the first fatal shark attack in the Arab country in over five years!

The womans leg showed visible bite marks, and medics said she
probably bled to death before being lifted to the surface.

Sharks are common in the area and tourists often take pictures, but attacks are very rare.

The last person to be killed by a shark in Egypt was reportedly
attacked while snorkelling near the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in 2004.
