Authorities faced criticism for overreaction and fears of targeting Asians and Muslims. The incident prompted calls for investigations and raised questions about the shoot-to-kill policy amid a tense city.

Sharm El Sheikh Bomb Attacks Trigger Global Alarm
Tourists fled Sharm el Sheikh after a coordinated wave of car bomb blasts struck the Ghazala Gardens hotel, a nearby cafe, and a beach boardwalk. At least 88 people died and 119 were injured, with victims from Egypt, Britain, Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Investigators pursued foreign links while two groups claimed responsibility, one tied to al Qaida and another a local, unnamed organization. Egypt detained about 20 people as DNA analysis and witness reports fed the probe, amid security gaps at popular hotels and markets.
