Sharm El-Sheik Bombings

As more information is reported, the situation just gets worse.

From the AP:

The attacks appeared well coordinated. Two car bombs, possibly by suicide attackers, went off simultaneously at 1:15 a.m. just more than 2 miles apart. A third bomb, believed hidden in a sack, detonated around the same time near a beachside walkway where tourists often stroll at night.

A total of 83 people were confirmed dead, said Dr. Saeed Abdel Fattah, manager of the Sharm el-Sheik International Hospital where the victims were taken. Among the dead were two Britons, two Germans and an Italian, he added, and Czech officials said one Czech tourist was also killed. Rescue workers were still searching for victims at some attack scenes.

Several hours after the attacks, a group claiming ties to al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the explosion on an Islamic web site. The group, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, al-Qaida, in Syria and Egypt, was one of two extremist groups that also claimed responsibility for October bombings at the Egyptian resorts of Taba and Ras Shitan that killed 34. The group also claimed responsbility for a Cairo bombing in late April.

Currently, 83 are known dead and 119 are wounded. Others following the story include: ITB, LGF.

4 83 dead and 119 wounded all at the hands of the Islamic Fascists. DSM is blaming the Bush administration for this? Man, this is the reason liberalism has lost so much credibility in this country. Thank God we have a leader who will stand up to this type of mindless mass murder because he sees it for what it is. DSM and the Mayor of London will witness the slaughter of innocent people by these animals and blame themselves. It is incredible to me how many people still drink this self-destructive Kool aid. Way to go DSM your voice has given the next mass murderer hope and reason to kill.

6 Greyrooster: Has your back DSM : Stabs you in the back. Funny thing is, Greyrooster would probably fair better under the Caliphate you want to surrender to than your liberal ass would. I can just see you before the Mullahs talking about keeping that abortion clinic open and the rights of women,gay rights etc, man they are going to love you. YouÂ’re an apologist for those who would behead you when they get the power they want. On second thought, you would probably go along with their beliefs so you could keep your government job.

7 Brad, do you work at an abortion clinic?

8 Ya Dsm, you found me out. I don’t know what these Egyptians are complaining about. 83 dead around the OLE Mill is really a pretty slow day. But, I guess they have us beat, we don’t have any wounded here. Well, I’m going to Europe with my partner this fall, better get back to “work”. Those vacations aren’t free

9 83 dead in Egypt and the stupid prick Downing Street Moron somehow thinks our great President Bush did it. This low life America haters has reached the lowest form of life. He gives the enemy support and excuses for their killing of innocents then blames the crimes on America. Rusty: Time to send this piece of muslim loving garbage to annoy another blog. There is no value listening to his anti American garbage any longer.

11 This is so stupid to fight on a board like this. Do you all pig headed idiots not realize that this kind of thinking is whats behind all the death as is?? Terrorism CAN NOT be faught with more death.... more innocent people dying. It has to be faught by deprogramming the people who do it!!! They are programmed in vidoes that show dead Muslims.... why doesnt someone make videos accessable that show the dead that have been killed by terrorism??? That showes the families of the dead.... that personalizes the people they kill???? This is no ome's fault but the fundie cowards who put innocent ppl up blowing themselves away..... Not America's, Not London's. Not Egypts, nor is the fault of any other country that has been bombed.... the fault lies solely on the cowards that plan it all, but are too chickenshit to blow themselves up!!!!

12 Voces: That in essense is what we have been saying. Only we spell it out and say that the Muslim religious leaders are behind the terrorist bombings. I mean. As the bomb and behead and murder and injure they yell Allah is great. This means they have been programmed by who? Not us.
