An Israeli tourist on Monday was stabbed by a Libyan worker at a resort in the Egyptian seaside town of Nuweiba.

The governor of Egypt's South Sinai province, Mohammed Hani Metwalli, said that the tourist, who was vacationing with his family, was returned to the Israeli city of Eilat for treatment.

The Libyan fled after Monday's attack, but left behind his passport.

Authorities are searching for him.

A spokeswoman for the Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat confirmed that a man with a stab wound had been treated.

Mubarak dealt decisively with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood terrorists in the nineties after the Luxor tourist massacre. They have the Libyan’s passport. When they catch him he’ll wish he was in Gitmo.

He’ll definitely be wishing he’d committed his crime in Israel rather than Egypt. Mubarak don’t like anyone messing with the tourist industry.
