Breaking News: Bombing at Dahab

30 appear to be dead, 100 wounded in the bombings of a Red Sea resort.

Although Egyptian secret police have for some years controlled the radical fundamentalists in the Nile Valley, the radicals appear to have established some cells in the Sinai, a rugged, desert environment that is like Afghanistan in offering lots of cover, thin government coverage, and poor, resentful populations to provide foot soldiers (Bedouins, displaced Gazans, etc.)
