Can a kiss kill? It can in Cairo
An Egyptian stabbed a Hungarian man and woman, slightly wounding them, after the couple kissed while pausing for a photograph near a mosque at Cairo's popular tourist bazaar, police said.
Hesham Mohammed, 36, apparently was upset by the kiss in front of Al-Hussein Mosque, a security official said on Tuesday on customary condition of anonymity.
The mosque is adjacent to the Khan el-Khalili market where foreign tourists flock to buy souvenirs and locally made crafts.
