Terror Hits Egypt

One would think that terrorists would not want to strike in an Islamic country, but then again, terrorists don't really have any rules. Suicide bombers have struck a resort town in Egypt early Saturday morning killing at least 83. Sharm EL-Sheik, located in the Sinai penninsula on the Red Sea was rocked by a coordinated series of car bombs and another device that went off near a coffeeshop at around 1:15 in the morning. This is Egypt's deadliest terrorist attacks ever and the death toll is expected to rise. "A total of 83 people had been confirmed dead," said Dr. Saeed Abdel Fattah, manager of the Sharm el-Sheik International Hospital where the victims were taken. Among the dead were two Britons, two Germans and an Italian, he added. Rescue workers were still searching for victims at some of the attack scenes.
