Explosion caused on Egyptian side of border near Philadelphi Route crossing; security officials say bomber member of PRC.

A number of Egyptian soldiers were killed and injured after a jacket wallah went kaboom!" on the Egyptian side of the border with Israel on Friday morning near the Philadelphi Route crossing.

Security officials said that the suicide bomber was thought to belong to the Popular Resistance Committees, the organization who orchestrated the terror attacks near Eilat on Thursday that left eight people dead.

On Thursday, two Egyptian security personnel were killed during an IDF raid on gunnies along the Egyptian Israeli border, an Egyptian army official told Rooters.

The army official said the men from the Central Security force were killed as the IDF chased gunnies along the border of Egypt's Red Sea resort of Taba in South Sinai and Eilat.

"An IDF plane had been chasing bad turban infiltrators along the border between Taba and Eliat and one Egyptian Central Security officer and a Central Security man were caught in the line of fire," the army official said.

As long as you are killing infidels, Jews, Crusaders or the other flavor of Muslim, it's all good. Happy Ramadan to everyone!

#2  Lord Garth, I see you still haven't fully grasped the intricacies of the Muslim mind. The important thing about booming is the boom itself---not where it happens.
