Egypt Identifies Sharm Bombers |
2005-09-05 |
Egyptian police have identified three suicide bombers who had carried out Sharm El-Sheikh attacks. The bombers â Mahmoud Mohamed Hammad, Mohamed Oudeh Saeed and Moussa Ghoneim â were identified through DNA tests. The three had travelled from the northern Sinai town of Al-Arish to carry out the attacks, police sources said. âTwo of the bombers, who rammed vehicles into a hotel and a market, used gas cylinders packed with explosives. The third bomber carried a bag with explosives,â they said. Police said the group that carried out Sharm attacks was also behind the October bombings on Taba and nearby resorts, as well as an attack in August on a vehicle used by a multinational observer force. The attack injured two Canadian women peacekeepers. âThe group is led by an Egyptian of a Bedouin origin who believes that Muslims have to follow his orders without questioning,â said a security source. âHe managed to form terrorist groups in Sinai that do not know or have contacts with each other to avoid being caught by police,â the source told Arab News. Another source said that the group has no link with any international terrorist organization including Al-Qaeda. |
