[q]JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A huge blast tore through an Egyptian hotel used by vacationing Israelis at the border resort of Taba on Thursday, scattering dozens of bodies in what Israeli security sources said was a suspected bomb attack.

At least 23 people were killed in the attack on the Hilton hotel, just meters from the border crossing, said Arab television, quoting Egyptian sources.

The blast was followed shortly by explosions at two other resort towns in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula popular with Israelis. [/q]

So, this would be the terrorists attacking those Zionist settler pigs, trying to drive them off of.... Egyptian soil? :rolleyes:

Lets ignore the sad waste of lives for a moment and go straight to the sheer stupidity of carrying out acts of terror in a country which actually supports your cause! :rolleyes:

Still if they were smart they would have figured out long ago that what they're doing isn't working.

Yeah, but y'know what? I honestly think they don't care, which in itself is incredibly idiotic. But then again, you're dealing with a bunch of radical, suicidal, sadistic fanatics. What do you expect?

Egypt's public may support the terrorists, but Egypt's government sure doesn't. They don't like them much precisely because this kind of thing used to happen all the time.

its no secret Egypt is one of the main sponsers for terrorism, they dont like terrorism if its being done on THEIR country, i would agree with that.
