BEIRUT, Lebanon - A Lebanese newspaper published on Friday a statement purportedly from al-Qaida claiming responsiblity for deadly bombings in
Egypt"s Sinai peninsula. It was the fifth separate claim in the attack and could not be verified.
The statement, allegedly issued by al-Qaida"s media office and signed "International Islamic Front," was e-mailed Thursday night to Sada al-Balad, an
independent newspaper, which published it on the front page Friday.
At least 34 people died when car bombs targeting Israeli tourists in Egypt exploded Oct. 7 at the Taba Hilton and two bungalow campgrounds on the
Sinai Peninsula, across the border from Israel. Victims included Egyptians, Israelis, Italians and Russians.

Many groups have already claimed to be behind these attacks including some who say they are affiliated with Al Qaida. Many of these claims are
difficult to confirm, but weather they are directly behind it or not, Al Qaida, and Islamic fundamentalism can certainly be held responsible.
