Many dead in Egypt resort blasts Dahab is in the popular tourist area of the Gulf of Aqaba By Hazel Heyer, eTN As of press time, over 22 people were reported dead and more than 150 injured  Unconfirmed sources talked about more than 100 casualties following the third in a series of bombing incidents near  Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el Sheikh. Three bombs exploded at a marketplace in a quiet, tourist town of Dahab, about 1 1/2 hours by road from Sharm on the eastern Sinai Peninsula. Though it is still too early to confirm numbers impacted by the blasts, Dahab is reporting this period is a busy season. It is indeed high season on their tourism calendar. People were celebrating Sham el Nessim Three explosions rocked Dahab in an al Qaeda-type modus operandum. At this time, authorities cannot say who is responsible. But Bedouins related to the last blast in Naama Bay in downtown Sharm el Sheik were. Their act of violence killed over 80 mostly, local Egyptians working in hotels.  Smoke coming from the market place has been reported. Many tourists on spring break are in Dahab. Most are from Europe; a lot from Russia who are celebrating their Orthodox Easter. These bombings are being linked to the July 5 trio of the deadliest terror attack, which killed 88 including an tourist American Kristine Miller at the popular resort. The bombs exploded in 2 hotels, Ghazala Garden and the Movenpick, and on the road. The old market bomb wiped out everything within a 100-meter radius (an area with most of the casualties, largely innocent bystanders and local Egyptian hospitality staff, frequented for the baladi Egyptian coffee shop after work with some tourists). One witness of Monday's explosions, who did not want to be named, told Reuters news agency  he heard three blasts and saw smoke rising from the tourist bazaar area of Dahab. "There is smoke coming from the area and there are people running everywhere," he said. One of the blasts hit the Mashrabiya hotel. The explosions were heard at about 7.15pm (1715 GMT), he said. The police said more than 20 ambulances and police cars were en route to the el-Masbat area of the town. An ambulance official said that many of the dead appeared to be foreigners. A state of alert was declared at the main hospital in the Israeli border town of Eilat, both to handle any casualties sent for treatment there and to free up doctors for dispatch to the scene. Hotels in Dahab on Monday were crowded with Egyptians celebrating the spring holiday Sham el-Nassim. Dahab is on the Gulf of Aqaba on the eastern side of the Sinai Peninsula. Last July, at least 60 people, including foreigners, were killed and more than 200 wounded when two car bombs and a suitcase filled with explosives ripped through hotels and shopping areas in Egypt's tourist area of Sharm al-Shaikh.   ARBER Travel Phone:   ++90312426 09 00  Fax:  ++90312426 48 00 Tunalı Hilmi St. No: 73/8.     K.Dere 06680 Ankara-Turkey www.arber.com.tr        e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ___________________________________________________________________________ Turizm Gönüllüleri Grubu TURGON SITE KULLANIM SARTLARI ! : http://www.turizmgonulluleri.org/kullanimsartlari.htm HIZLI UYELIK ICIN ! : http://www.turizmgonulluleri.org/newportal/uye_kaydet.asp Grubumuza Mesaj Atmak için : TurizmGonulluleri@yahoogroups.com Web sitemiz : www.turizmgonulluleri.org Internet gazetemiz : www.turizmgunlugu.com Fax Numaramiz : + 90 533 986 22 44 Email adresimiz : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Platform Kurucumuz : AYDIN YAYLACIKLILAR Irtibat Telefon : + 90 532 426 26 30 Sms ID'miz : TURGON SPONSORED LINKS Article health wellness Center for health and wellness Health and wellness Health and wellness program Health wellness product Health and wellness job YAHOO!
