'Explosion once again hits Egypt-Israel gas pipeline'

Egyptian security sources say men with machine guns plant explosive charges causing pipeline to explode at station in northern Sinai Peninsula forcing shutdown in the flow of gas.

Saboteurs blew up a pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan on Monday, forcing a shutdown in the flow of gas, Egyptian security sources said.

The explosion took place in the early morning at a station along the pipeline in the northern Sinai Peninsula at Bir Abd, 60 km east of the Suez Canal, the sources said.

It was the third attack since early February on the pipeline, which supplies natural gas to Israel and Jordan, local cement plants and a power station.

Previous explosions closed on April 27 and Feb. 5 closed the pipeline for weeks.

Some people obviously don't want Egypt to sell gas to Israel... weird uh that this wasn't happening before, even if Mubarak was selling gas below market prices to Israel?

This is good, if the government won't listen to the people, then the people should take it in to their own hand. The revolution is continuing as we speak, the military council does not represent the people, they are Mubarak's best friends who represent Western interests.

The Egyptian people will turn to extreme violence if they don't get what they want.
