Al-Qaeda Strikes Egypt

Sphere: Related Content

Ayman al-Zawahiri has been at war with Hosni Mubarak for years. Today he struck again:

Three explosions rocked Egypt's Sinai resort town of Dahab on Monday night, leaving at least 30 people dead and 160 wounded.

One blast hit a hotel, a second a restaurant and the third explosion rocked the resort town's market area about 7:15 p.m. local time (1715 GMT). Egyptian authorities said the blasts were likely not caused by suicide bombers but rather bombs that had been planted.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak called the explosions a "terrorist act."

Dr. Said Essa, head of the Egyptian rescue forces in the region, said at least 17 people were killed at the el-Khaleeg Hotel alone.


Attacking hotels packed with civilians during a major holiday week sure has the making of an al-Qaeda attack.

While some Israeli's were injured, how will the perpetrators of this despicable attack spin the deaths of Muslims?

AJ Strata is all over it (and hosts todays RINO round-up) as is Gateway Pundit and Gina Cobb.

Vital Perspective is updating constantly.

Update: Silly me. I blamed al-Qaeda when the Egyptians say it was Mossad. I am so naive.
