Sharm el-Sheik, July. 23 (AP): Three car bombs exploded in quick succession in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik early Saturday, ripping through a hotel and a coffee shop packed with European and Egyptian tourists. Security officials said at least 49 people died in the deadliest attack in Egypt in nearly a decade.

The powerful blasts, beginning at 1:15 a.m., rattled windows miles away and sent panicked holiday-goers streaming out of hotels and clubs. Smoke and fire rose from Naama Bay, a main strip of beach hotels in the desert city at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, also popular with Israeli tourists, witnesses said.

Dazed tourists milled about the darkened streets as Egyptian rescuers searched for dead and injured. Bodies of the dead lay under white bedsheets or were loaded in plastic bags into ambulances, while other emergency vehicles sped away with the wounded.

Sorry about duplicating. :-(

I did a search for egypt and could not find a relevant topic in the first search page, so I posted a new one. I apologise if I may have spammed FR. Was not intended.

I just snagged it from google images, but I guess it's on Amazon.

The majority of those killed so far, and likely the largest portion of the total, will be Egyptians or other Arab nationals, not westerners or Israelis. One must remember that Al Queda's enemies aren't just western civilization, but those who don't adhere to their wacko brand of Islam.

"Mohammed's Monsters"

Mohammed WAS a monster. A murderous pedophile beast. May piss be upon him, and upon the Koran.

The book cover of 'Muhammad's Monsters' is eerily reminiscent of a picture of the Klan. White sheets, faces covered to hide their guilt.
