| Taba terrorists escape from jail in the Sinai |
| 2011-02-06 |
| Bedouin terror cell members that massacred tourists in Sinai in 2004 and 2005 have escaped from their jails in Sinai, according to Egyptian intelligence sources cited by the Ma'an news agency. Approximately 50 prisoners from the Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad group have escaped to unknown locations, say these sources. A Hizbullah unit has escaped from jail as well. The Taba Hilton was attacked in 2004 by a truck full of explosives that drove into the hotel lobby and blew up, killing 31 and wounding 159 others. The explosion collapsed ten floors of the hotel. Nine of the murdered victims were Israelis, two of them children. Fifty kilometers south, a car bomb in front of a restaurant at the Moon Island resort exploded, killing two Israelis. Some of the terrorists were killed in the attacks, others were executed by Egypt. Still others were imprisoned - and now appear to have escaped. Ma'an also reported that three Egyptian police officers disappeared Friday in northern Sinai. They had been going to El Arish when they were last heard from. There is speculation that the three have been abducted or murdered. |
