I heard tonight Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt was the site of terrorist attacks

Three explosions shook the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh and a nearby
resort area, killing at least 30 people and wounding 107. I trust none of
the locals denizens here are in the area currently.

There needs to be an international decree on terrorists -- no bag limits.

Security Special Advisory




Egypt July 22, 2005 23:48 GMT


Explosions in Egypt Resort Town

Reports indicate that a series of bomb
explosions have occurred in Egypt's Red Sea resort town of
Sharm-el-Sheikh.

At least 20 people have been reported killed in the blasts. The first
blast reportedly occurred at approximately 0100 local time. More than
100 others have been injured.

The first explosion occurred in the Old Market area where shops that
are popular with tourists are located.

Another explosion in the Naama Bay area damaged a four-star hotel.
Among the hotels that were affected were the Ghazala Gardens and
Movenpick hotels.


SOS Comment

Since October 2004, Egypt has experienced a
number of bombing attacks that affected tourists.

In October 2004, a series of explosions occurred in several hotels in
the Sinai resorts of Taba and Ras Shitan, resulting in the death of 34
people, mostly Israeli tourists. Egyptian authorities said that attack
was linked to Israeli-Palestinian violence.

On 30 April 2005, an explosion occurred near the five-star Hilton
Ramses hotel in Cairo, wounding at least seven foreign tourists. On 7
April 2005, an explosion occurred in a popular bazaar street in Cairo,
killing two foreigners and wounding nine others.

The perpetrators and motivations of the latest bombings in
Sharm-el-Sheikh are still to be determined. Initial police
investigation suggests that the explosions may have been caused by
carbombs.



Travel Advice

At this time, International SOS members are
advised to defer all non-essential travel to Sharm-el-Sheikh and nearby
resort towns near Sinai for the next 48-hours. Members currently in
these areas are advised to stay in their hotel and maintain a low
profile for the next 48-hours.

Foreigners in Egypt are advised to adopt extra security precautions
against the increasing risk of further attacks elsewhere in the
country. International SOS recommends that Members avoid spending
excessive amounts of time near areas where tourists are known to
congregate. Public places such as restaurants and cafes, shopping and
market areas and malls, pedestrian zones, public buses and bus stops,
and other crowded venues and the areas around them should also be
avoided.

Travel to the border area between Egypt and the Palestinian territories
should be avoided.
