Iran behind Sinai Bombing? (Debka)
2004-10-08
It's Debka. Salt liberally, but watch your blood pressure.
DEBKAfile reports exclusively: Initial Egyptian investigation of quadruple car bombings at three Sinai sites Thursday night points to co-production orchestrated by Iran - to which explosives traced - organized by Hizballah and carried out by Saudi al Qaeda bomb-teams. Method recalls al Qaeda's 1996 bombing attacks on Khobar Towers and 2003 Istanbul strikes. Israel's warning to Israeli tourists to stay away from Sinai based on intelligence of Hizballah plot. Israelis and Egyptians were twin targets.
Saudi al-q bombers, orchestrated by Iran, organized by hizballah. sounds a bit toooo conspiratorial. or does it?
A little early for any conclusive testing on the origins of any explosives. I'd put the 24 hr rule on this one.

#2  Does it matter if it was AQ, the Muslim Brotherhood, or the local madrassa student body? It's all one ideology. Deport the Gazans to Egypt and let the Egyptians spend their time and resources figuring out what to do with them, instead of rehashing cliched ways of destroying their only money making industry, tourism.

#1  The Egyptians probably already know exactly who it was. Now comes the real work... giving Israel a good enough answer to keep them from suspecting Egypt let this happen.
