So, I can go to Sharm next week,,

This sounds very much like the FCO and Egyptian Government are working together on these travel bans.
I assume they must protect the most valuable Egyptian asset in Sinai.. Sharm el-Sheikh.

So, I can go to Sharm next week,,

Well let's put it this way. As of today's information you can go to Sharm next week - but don't you dare try to go outside the barrier.

Whether you can go to Sharm next week is another matter - but highly likely!

So St. Catherine's is now off the tourist route. No need to buy a visa in Sharm!

IF I were a so called Terrorist, I too would pick an isolated spot in which to carry out these atrocities. Less chance of being caught.
Of course, I could also make a phone call and say I was responsible for an atrocity I didn't commit and then make my demands, and no one would be any the wiser...

What ***** me off, is that I know I am going to a place which in reality is not safe, yet the place I really want to come to is off the list...
And I am not afraid of going to either place, I just hate the hypocrisy of it all. Disengage Rant Mode: ... and Breath,,,,,

If I were a so called suicide bomber, I wouldn't worry about getting caught.

[Glyphdoctor]

Well you could get caught before you blew yourself up and spend the rest of your life in prison.

Suicide bombers are a different kettle of fish... the gunmen terrorists are Hit and Run. I guess I need to be more specific.
If I was going to commit Suicide, I would take out the leaders, the ones causing all the strife.. not civilians...

This is long overdue, and many may applaud, but ultimately futile...
