Reuters: "Security sources said at least one car that blew up on Saturday had special plates indicating it had come over the Israeli border at Taba on the Sinai peninsula."
Left unnoticed by the western media is that Sharm-al-Sheikh was the site of the so-called "Sharm el-Sheikh Accords" to which many zionist elements are opposed, including those within the zionist pseudostate apparatus, even though the objective of the "Accords" was to restore and speed up the process of Palestinian surrender.
And behind it all can be seen the the bloody snout and the hairy hand of the Mossad pigs and apes.

Blasts kill 83 in Egyptian Red Sea resort

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - At least 83 people were killed and 200 injured when car bombs ripped through markets and hotels in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday in the worst attack in Egypt since 1981.
Shaken European tourists spoke of mass panic and hysteria as people fled the carnage in the early hours, with bodies strewn across the roads, people screaming and sirens wailing.
The regional governor said two car bombs and possibly a suitcase bomb had rocked the resort, popular with divers and European holidaymakers, as well as diplomats who have convened summits of world leaders at Sharm el-Sheikh.
One blast tore the front off the Ghazala Gardens Hotel in Naama Bay, the site of most of the resort's luxury hotels. People were feared trapped in the rubble of the lobby.
A car broke into the hotel compound and exploded in front of the building, South Sinai Governor Mustafa Afifi said.
A senior security source in Sharm el-Sheikh said 83 people were killed and 23 people were in critical condition, from among 35 casualties taken to Cairo for treatment.
Most of the victims were Egyptians but the Tourism Ministry spokeswoman said seven non-Egyptians were dead, including a Czech and an Italian, and 20 were injured.
The injured foreigners were nine Italians, five Saudis, three Britons, a Russian, a Ukrainian and an Israeli Arab, spokesman Hala el-Khatib told reporters. But the British Foreign Office in London said that eight Britons were injured.
A group claiming links to the al Qaeda organization said it carried out the bombings in retaliation for "crimes committed against Muslims," according to an Internet statement.
The statement, which was not carried on major al Qaeda Web sites, was signed by the Abdullah al-Azzam Brigades of the al Qaeda Organization in the Levant and Egypt. It was not possible to authenticate the claim.
Egyptian Interior Minister Habib el-Adli said it was too early to say whether al Qaeda or other Islamist groups had any connection with the bombings but there was probably a link with attacks further north last October.
In the October bombings, 34 people were killed, most of them at the Taba Hilton on the Israeli border.
Egyptian authorities blamed them on a Palestinian leading an unaffiliated group. Last month Israel stepped up warnings to its own citizens, saying the risk of another such attack had risen.
Security sources said at least one car that blew up on Saturday had special plates indicating it had come over the Israeli border at Taba on the Sinai peninsula.
FIREBALL
The attacks on Saturday were the worst in Egypt at least since militant Islamists stormed a security headquarters in the southern city of Assiut in 1981, killing scores of people.
Ahmed Mustafa, a waiter at a coffee shop near the first of the explosions, said a massive fireball tore through the car park outside a shopping mall in Sharm el-Sheikh town. It was about 1:15 a.m. (2215 GMT on Friday).
The explosion turned cars into skeletons of twisted metal, blew down masonry on nearby buildings and shattered windows for hundreds of meters (yards) around.
Officials said a car had exploded there but an eyewitness said a man had walked into a crowd with a large travel bag and announced in Egyptian Arabic: "I have a bomb."
Some people moved away but others thought he was joking, said the witness, who asked not to be named. Two minutes later an explosion took place where he had put the bag, she added.
"I saw a car flying up in the air, people running," restaurant owner Yehya Mohammed said by telephone. "I do not think I will ever forget this in my life. This is a horrible setback for tourism here."
An emergency services official said many wounded were Egyptian workers gathered at a cafe in the old market. Seventeen of the dead were burned beyond recognition.
Sharm residents said they heard two more explosions coming from Naama Bay in quick succession, blasts that could be felt 10 km (six miles) away. Witnesses said the first of these hit the hotel and the second a taxi rank.
The blasts came at a time when many tourists were still out in bars and markets in the popular and hitherto safe resort.
CONFUSION
"The whole area was quickly covered in debris. There was a huge ball of smoke that mushroomed up. It was mass hysteria," Charlie Ives, a London policeman on holiday, told the BBC.
Tourist Fabio Basone said: "People were trying to run in any direction to get away but were not clear where to go."
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak cut short a holiday on the Mediterranean coast and flew to Sharm el-Sheikh, officials said.
Tourism Minister Ahmed el-Maghrabi said: "These incidents will have an effect in the short term (on tourism)."
Foreigners have been targeted in Egypt in earlier attacks.
Tourism is a major source of revenues and employment in Egypt, which needs to create about 650,000 jobs a year for its youthful population. Some analysts say Egypt attracted extra visitors this year after many avoided tsunami-hit Asia.

Yet more rubbish?!!!

What is Indymedia coming to? For how long must we endure this tripe?!
If I drive a UK registered car to France and hand it over to someone else to go and commit a bomb attack, does that mean that the bombers are MI5? Apparently so, according to the topsy-turvy logic of some who post here...

not a rumour

Obviously not.
Not only Reuters but many other reliable news sources are reporting that the cars had zionist license plates:
1 - 10 of about 45 for sharm plates

Looks like Mossad finally got caught. Now it's time to study their role in 7/7 and 9/11.
just the facts ma'am

All those people who support Bin-Laden are in fact israelis agents, they are trying to destroy Palestine by bombing the London underground and Egypt!!
But nobody worry, Allah will make justice,sorry I think I am breking the law by making fun of Allah, as it is illegal to criticise religions, even if they are extremist branches of religion, I will stop here my analysis.

MOSSAD boasts about deception
23.07.2005 22:03
- the official motto of MOSSAD.
There's a lot more evidence linking MOSSAD to terrorist acts than there is linking Usama bin Laden to Sept. 11th, et al.

Remember USS Liberty
zionist license plates?!!
23.07.2005 23:22
But of course they are all members of the Mossad, as are many of the "left-wing" militants we recently saw up in Edinburgh - after all much of their anti-G8 work did involve a fair amount of "deception", which is of course a purely Mossad tactic...
In fact, I hear that it is the fashion now when your girl/boyfriend has deceived you and slept with your best mate behind your back to say: "You dirty Mossad agent!"

+ all the Israeli arabs who own cars
+ the cars sold to Egypt
So how are you so sure it was a Jewish agent driving the car.
Or is it simply because you would rather believe that a Jew did this - I think so
