Most victims are Egyptians - Israel
Posted Fri, 08 Oct 2004
Israel's ambassador to Egypt Eli Shaked said on Friday that most of the victims of the Sinai bomb attacks were Egyptian nationals.
"Egyptian Tourism Minister (Ahmed al-Maghrabi) told me that most of the victims were Egyptians," Shaked told Israel's army radio.
At least 26 people were killed in bomb attacks late on Thursday on a hotel in the Egyptian resort of Taba and in two resorts further south on the Red Sea coast of the Sinai peninsula.
More than 100 were wounded and 38 are missing, according to Israeli officials. Israel blames al-Qaeda for Sinai bombings.

I've yet to see any proof as to how they might think this is Al Qaeda. Don't terrorists take responsibility for their attacks in the media? Isn't that in fact their entire RAISON D'ETRE?!
first is that al-Qaeda typically does not claim responsibility for attacks. This causes problems because it causes any unclaimed attack to be blamed on al-Qaeda.
