DUBAI (Reuters) -Egyptian police are searching for up to nine Pakistani suspects in the bomb attacks that killed scores of people at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Arab television channels said on Monday.
Al Jazeera television aired a copy of what it said was an Egyptian Interior Ministry list of suspects, highlighting the grainy pictures of two men named Muhammad Akhtar, 30, and Tasadduq Husayn, 18. It said they were Pakistanis.
Al Arabiya television said police were looking for six Pakistanis, adding that police had distributed their pictures throughout Sharm el-Sheikh.
Egypt”s Interior Ministry did not comment on the reports, but a security source told Reuters that police had distributed to checkpoints the photographs of about 50 non-Egyptians, including Pakistanis who had stayed in Sharm el-Sheikh and "known international terrorists."
