Sharm el shark - Two shark species suspected in attacks.
The Telegraph U.K. ^ | Dec 8, 2010 GMT | Adrian Blomfield

But Egyptian officials in the Sinai peninsula yesterday disclosed that a shortfin mako shark captured last week had been forensically identified as the culprit behind last Wednesday's attack on two swimmers from Russia and Ukraine.

"The bite on one of the victims has been matched with the teeth of the Mako," said Ahmed el-Edkawy, the deputy secretary general of South Sinai governorate.

That one of the culprits responsible for the mysterious terror visited on Sharm el-Sheikh's beaches may have seemed like good news.

But with witnesses saying that the latest attack, was carried out by a whitetip, scientists are being forced to confront the likelihood that sharks from two different species have suddenly developed man-killing tendencies

This is looking like NJ in 1916, and the movie Jaws combined.

Having had a lot of experience with the shortfin mako, believe me if one attacks, you won't have a chance.- Tom

Actually the species’ have both been identified as: Jewteeth Oceanus and Arabicus Sinkatorah. Both are mutant sharks engineered and captively bred by Moussad scientists.

How does a shark suddenly develop man killing tendencies?

I mean you're in the water and he's a shark. The only thing that suddenly develops is his appetite and your role in the outcome.

Do you have a source?

Truth outdistances humor (at least I think you two were being humorous. Were you?)

Egyptian officials say they have not ruled out the possibility that a fatal shark attack in Sinai on Sunday could have been a plot by the Mossad. “What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark [in the sea] to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question, but it needs time to confirm,” South Sinai Gov.Muhammad Abdel Fadil Shousha was quoted as saying by the Egyptian state news site egynews.net. http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?ID=198286&R=R1

I have been following this story and the people making statements about sharks and these attacks are for the most part clueless; but they are forced into a situation where they have to say something. - Tom

That still doesn't explain the specially bred sharks which prefer an arab diet. I mean I could have a lot of things to say before I get that low on material.

It's either that or I have just overheard how incredibly stupid the arab masses can be?

You must of missed the news about the Muslim blaming Israel (For breeding sharks to attack Muslims) for several shark attacks in the Sinai peninsula. No sarcasm tag needed.

Ok. I’ll be more blunt this time. How the hell do you throw one shark in the see and expect is to attack a certain person? Next thing they will say they were baiting humans with air drops of cattle to entice this one shark. I’m starting to wonder who’s loonie....

If you think you can catch a shark in a sea, you are smoking crack.

I guess several loony Islamists think that is possible. Reminds me of that congresscritter who said sharks developed a taste for Africans because 200,000,000 black slaves were thrown overboard while crossing the Atlantic (During the Portugal/Dutch slave trading days).
