Authorities said they foiled a terrorist plot to attack tourist hotels this summer when they arrested 11 extremists linked to al-Qaida in May.

This number is in addition to the approximately 30 cells officials say they have broken up in the past five years following a string of bombings that killed 45 people in 2003.
