Terror attacks that killed nearly 100 people at several Sinai tourist resorts in the past two years were carried out by a militant group calling itself "Tawhid and Jihad," a name used by al-Qaida-linked groups elsewhere, Egyptian prosecutors said Sunday. "Tawhid and Jihad" - Arabic for "Monotheism and Holy War" - was the name used by the group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most notorious militant leader in Iraq.

LOOKS LIKE ONE BLAST HIT A HOTEL:

CAIRO, Egypt - Three explosions Monday night rocked the Egyptian resort city of Dahab and there were at least 100 dead and wounded, according to the doctor who runs Egypt's Sinai Peninsula rescue squad.

Dr. Said Essa said he was headed to the scene of the blasts, one of which hit the el-Mashrabiyah Hotel.

Dahab is located on the Gulf of Aqaba on the eastern side of the Sinai Peninsula.

Police officials said more than 20 ambulances and police cars were rushing to the el-Masbat section of the city.
