Egyptian Resort Bombed

It's breaking news and I've gotten some indications that it's worse than described as follows.

From The Courier-Mail:

THIRTY people died and about 100 more were wounded when four car bombs rocked the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh and hotels at nearby Naama Bay today.

A police source said four car bombs appeared to have exploded - one near the Sharm el-Sheikh bazaar, and three in Naama Bay, at a tourist bazaar, the Ghazala Hotel and the Moevenpick Hotel.

Sources said the explosions had killed up to 30 people and wounded about 100 others.

I've heard that 36 people have died. Information is sketchy right now. It happened about 1:15 am local time. Current reports say seven bombs were detonated.

By the way, on a somewhat related issue, am I the only person that's noticed that when Rusty leaves town, London gets bombed?

[Update 2230 EDT]

From Aljazeera.com:

A series of explosions hit the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm al-Sheikh early Saturday, killing at least 49 people and wounding 150 others, witnesses and police said.

Police officials in Sharm el-Sheik said there may have been as many as seven blasts; three in Naama Bay, which is packed with hotels, and four in the nearby Old Market area.

"Many of the injuries are very serious and they are in critical condition," said one doctor at Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital.

Eyewitnesses say that the blasts shook windows miles away.

1 It was bound to happen sooner or later. I looked at Fox News, then here, didn't see anything, all while you were writing your post, I bet. And I did notice that. But then, from what I read, London gets bombed almost every day. Pub-wise, that is.

2 I'm surprized that al Jazeera.com didn't already blame this one on the Mossad. The last time the Islamo-fascist-tards blew up some JOOs at an Egyptian resort they did. Before the bodies were even counted,too.

3 Because as the Islamists are the first to admit, the Islamotards are too stupid to successfully kill any one. Seriously. That's their logic.

5 Just typical of a bunch of faceless hooded cowards who use these car bombs to do their dirty work its too damn bad that one of their bombs would not go off and blast these monsters to itsy bitsy peices

7 This is a submission to Dr Kareem of Al Jazeera. Dear Dr. KareemÂ… I feel so sorry for the loss of innocent lives; itÂ’s really a tragedy that it happened on the occasion of a great day in EgyptÂ’s history. IsnÂ’t it surprising that these events are timed with the scheduled upcoming evacuation from Gaza which I am sure Israel will not complete, claiming that the move will further affect its security. God save us all! Ibrahim from Canada I love conspiracy theories.

8 Gee, I didn't know Egypt had troops in Iraq. What's that you say? They don't? Hmmm....

9 Another example of the terrorists killing muslims just to get at a few tourists. For any muslims out there that sympathize with them. They will freaking kill you too.

10 Let's just wait a minute now and not rush to judgment. Are we sure yet that it wasn't Jehova's Witnesses? But seriously, Rusty, when are you going to ban greg and DSM? Having them around is like having Special Ed running around yelling "I POOPED MY PANTS!" Neither has yet added any sort of intelligent contribution to this forum, and frankly, I think they keep people away, because nobody wants to read their drivel. Stupidity like theirs might be contagious. There have been several people drop in, make a couple of posts, then leave after the moron twins jump in. They're trying to kill your blog.

13 Morning Howie. Hey, check out this e-mail I got from some camelhumper. I will fisk it for your entertainment: "I'm a Muslim and Islam always teaches how to be obedient to God and to respect all people irrespective of their beliefs." Sure it does. That's why muslims kill and oppress non-mulsims, because they respect them. "However even a nice mongrel if it is provoked and pushed against a wall will bite back." I didn't say mongrel, he did. But it fits. "The madrassah in Pakistan teaches young kids to learn the religion and many as young as 12 years old can recite the whole Koran by heart." Better they should learn something that will help them earn a living. By 12 I was building model airplanes that could fly, whereas they just progress to bomb-making. "9/11 is a result of American greediness plundering Arab's resources and supporting the most cruel regime in the world." Ah yes, the old "rape and pillage" argument. Not only are we plundering their resources, we're making them fabulously rich in the process, not to mention the fact that the US contributes more in foreign aid to muslims than muslims produce themselves. Ungrateful scum. And he didn't even mention which regime is the most cruel, but considering that we're talking about muslims, here, there are a lot of contenders. Cavemen. Nothing. But. Cavemen. "Afghanistan and Iraq is just rubbing salt to the wound." Wait, are we supposed to support or overthrow cruel tyrants? I'm confused. We're friendly toward tyrannical muslim regimes, we're bastards. We overthrow tyrannical muslim regimes, we're bastatards. How about we let the ungrateful, subhuman slime rot in their own filth and misery? "As long as the majority still stupid enough to listen to all the lies - 'hate our freedom', WMD, Muslim terrorists, and other rhetorics-you will suffer from the fear of similar incidents." The only mistake Americans make is believing that muslims can be civilized. Muslims can only behave when they've got a boot on their neck. "You have lost some of your freedoms." Name one. "Some businesses have been affected." Like bomb manufacturing? "Mideast tourists are now coming to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia." Good, maybe they'll stop stinking up America. "The business is booming - thanks to bush/blair/sharon." Booming, odd that you should use that word. How about a few megtons worth of boom? Just watch the sky for contrails, they'll be along shortly, no doubt, the way you morons are escalating things. "Those affected directly/indirectly in the UK" I have no idea here, but I'm sure this vile piece of parasitic subhuman garbage meant to gloat somehow over the dead in London. We need a "final solution" for the islamic question.

14 Just so everyone knows that above comment was not from our greg. IM..that's great was it from Amaad?. I've also not noticed the Patriot act buggin me too much even though I'm opposed just for the reason that I doubt that if the situation ever justifies a repeal we will find some odd reason not to. If I was Amaad he is in UK and they are taking his freedom too. He is such a brainwashed sucker. On one theread the other day he credits Arabs for the discovery of petrol which I think was a byproduct of the production of K1 and J@ kerosene aka Diesel fuel. Last time I checked Diesel was not an arab and the extraction of oil was first done in Penn. An arab might have discoved how to distill but it was for booze a fact I'm sure he would hate. I've got to research that and pound him down when I get time.

Posted by: Howie at July 23, 2005 12:07 PM (D3+20)

15 Uh that was supposed to be k1 & k2 kerosene. I'm working too. distracted you know.

Posted by: Howie at July 23, 2005 12:08 PM (D3+20)

16 Not it wasn't from amaad, not that I know of. It was some cryptic, corporate looking address that smelled faintly of a saudi oil company. I will research it later, but for now, I'm off to a lake in the mountains.

17 Have a good time. catch you later.

18 IM: Your 11:30 AM post was excellent. Business is booming. Many refuse to admit that business in booming right here in the good ole USA.
