At least two have been killed and 10 injured in three different explosions across South Sinai and Cairo on Friday morning, reported state and local media.

In the first attack, a suicide bomber killed himself and a policeman and wounded five others at a checkpoint in El-Tur in Egypt’s South Sinai.


A second attack, near the first and on the road between El-Tur and the popular tourist destination of Sharm El-Sheikh, wounded at least four and had targeted a bus transporting tourism industry workers, reported state media.

The third attack, which was confirmed by state media, occurred outside a court in Masr El-Gedeeda (New Egypt) in Cairo, reportedly killing at least one police officer and injuring three.

Youm7, a private media outlet in Egypt, says security sources have confirmed two police officers have been killed and a third has been injured.

Security forces have heightened security in the South Sinai in expectation of any further attacks.

Earlier this year, an attack on a bus carrying tourists in the South Sinai’s Taba killed four, including three South Korean tourists.

And still the tourists come rolling into the Sinai because it's safe...

Yet Luxor ( no incidents ) is off limits...

What surprises me is that there are not more of these cowardly forms of murder taking place considering the amount of explosives that were stolen over the first revolution.

Maybe this is only the start of the terror campaign prior to and during the forthcoming elections.
