Sharks in the Red Sea have resumed attacks on humans

For the first time in five years the shark attacked a man in Egypt.

Tourist from Germany was killed in a shark attack in the Egyptian resort of El Quseir on the Red Sea coast, reports RIA Novosti . According to local media, the shark bit off his leg, he died on the way to the hospital.

This was the first shark attack on any human in Egypt over the past five years. In 2010, another Egyptian resort on the Red Sea three tourists suffered shark bites but lived to tell the tale, the three that survived were from Russia and the one killed was from Germany.

Then came a series of attacks as Egyptian authorities had to close beaches in the popular resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.
