A MAN suspected of belonging to a terror group which killed 58 tourists in Egypt six years ago has been arrested.
The man, who is being held in Bosnia, is suspected of belonging to the banned Islamic extremist group Jamaa Islamiya.
The group has admitted responsibility for the massacre in which three generations of the same Ripponden family were wiped out in 1997.
The suspect - who was with his wife and three children - was held at the border with Croatia as he tried to leave Bosnia on a forged passport.
The news came as it was revealed that a memorial is to be built to the victims of the attack at Luxor, central Egypt.
The Ripponden victims included five- year-old Shaunnagh Turner, who was on holiday with her mother and grandmother.
The girl, her mother, Karina, 24, and grandmother, Joan Turner, 53, died instantly.
The family had been visiting the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in the Valley of the Kings.
Plans are being drawn up for a memorial after the Egyptian government agreed to the move.
The arrested man was travelling on a forged Belgian passport. He is being held with his family in the border town of Orasje.
In 1999 the terrorist group announced a formal end to its violent campaign, launched along with other groups, to topple Egypt's secular regime.
The campaign left some 1, 300 people dead, including scores of tourists.
Last month, the suspected mastermind of the massacre was flown from Uruguay to stand trial in Egypt.
