CAIRO: Gunmen on a speeding motorcycle opened fire, killing two members of the tourist police at the famed Giza Pyramids on Wednesday.

The drive-by shooting was a rare incident at a tourist site. Egypt sees regular attacks on its security forces as it struggles with a low-level insurgency, mostly in the lawless northern Sinai Peninsula.

But the attacks have inched closer to the capital, mostly targeting individual security agents but also included small bombings in public areas. A deadly car bombing last year hit the security headquarters in Cairo, also damaging a museum.
