Nem menjenek Egyiptomba nyaralni! A Reuters összefoglalója!
Two men blew themselves up in
Egypt's north Sinai on Wednesday, one near an airport used by an
international observer force, security sources said.
A spokesman for the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO)
group which supervises the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty said
the first bomber appeared to target its vehicles but there were
no MFO injuries.
The second man blew himself next to a police car outside a
police station in Sheikh Zuwayed, near the northern coast town
of El Arish. The car was empty and there were no other
casualties, the security sources said.
In a third incident in the east of the Nile Delta on
Wednesday, gunmen ambushed police, leading to an exchange of
fire, police sources said. They had no immediate information on
the outcome of the skirmish and it was not clear if the
incidents were related.
On Monday three bombs in the resort of Dahab on the east
coast of Sinai killed 18 people and injured scores.
The Dahab explosions resembled other attacks attributed to a
Sinai-based group which has bombed two other resorts on the east
coast over the last two years.
The same group is thought to have carried out a bombing that
damaged an MFO vehicle in Sinai in August, slightly injuring two
Canadians.
The first suicide bombing on Wednesday was near the MFO camp
at El Gorah, about 35 km (22 miles) from El Arish and close to
the site of the attack in August.
The MFO, which has contingents from 11 countries, was set up
to supervise security provisions in the 1979 peace treaty.
It patrols the Egyptian-Israeli border to ensure that the
treaty is observed. The camp at El Gorah is its largest
installation and the site of the commander's headquarters.
Egyptian authorities attributed two earlier bombings in
Sinai -- in Taba in October 2004 and in Sharm el-Sheikh in July
2005 -- to a small Sinai-based group originally led by a man of
Palestinian origin and with militant Islamist views.
Most of the members came from the El Arish area.
