Egyptian analysts blame Israel for Sharm el-Sheikh terror attacks

[ECH1969]

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt - Less than 24 hours after terrorists killed at least 88 people in attacks on the Sinai resort town of Sharm el- Sheikh, Egyptian sources claimed that Israel was responsible for the deadly bombings.

The claims were apparently based on the fact that most of the victims were Egyptian nationals.

Egyptian media analysts, sources in Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian parliamentarian Ala Hasnin, in an interview with the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television network, all suggested Israel was responsible for the attacks.

One Egyptian analyst interviewed by Al-Jazeera said that is was in Israel's interest to carry out such a terror attack and thus Jerusalem was thus responsible for Saturday's bombings.

[question everything]

1. If the Egyptian were an American Republican, we would have blamed Clinton

Both are a joke, and pathetic, at that.

2. As Jon Stewart pointed out the other night. . .

"Ah, media, why must you spread such hate? Can't you be content with just being wrong?"

3. Ahhh...the lies start

As if on some kind of eerie cue, Israel gets blamed. Of course, this 'analyst' thinks the US could have done it. This all sounds SO familiar!

[Scurrilous]

4. Statements from Egyptian ministers:

"Interior Minister el-Adli had earlier on pinned the attack on Islamic militants. "This is an ugly act of terrorism," el-Adli said in a statement carried on the government news agency. "It has nothing to do with Islam, they are only acting under the slogan of Islam.

Egyptian Tourism Minister Ahmed el-Maghrabi told Egyptian television "What happened early this morning is rejected by all people. These criminal gangs will not be able to prevent people from travelling and moving."

5. The Islamic civil war, uh...expands!

Cundie Rice is travelling the Mideast. In her wake comes a slew of bombings! Conspiracy threorists might see a link.....

6. Lets hope she stays abroad.

7. no conspiracy required

When a Bush administration official appears in a country brutally victimized by the US, people get pissed off and blow something up. Amazing, isn't it?

8. Couldn't have anything to do with bin laden's #2 killed Sadat? that must

have been Israel & Clinton's fault too.

Dr. Zawari (sp) is after Egypt and bin Laden is after Saudi Arabia...
but why am I not surprised that Egypst would whip their people up at the Jews?

Aren't these the same people who are paying for the madrassas that train the children to hate?
