Terrorist strikes Egypt, Again!

About 7.15 pm GMT +2, the resort town of Dahab has been hit by 3 explosions. This comes as a shock to the Egytian community, as thousands of residents around Cairo, head to the Sinai peninsular to places like Sharm-el-sheikh & Dahab for the long easter break!

At this point in time, it is estimated that atleast 100 dead and many wounded. As soon as it happened, word got around amongst our Ericsson expat community to check status quo on each other! It's a 5 day break here, and most of working community are out of Cairo, except me :( , since i just arrived from Oslo.

Alhamduillah, all colleagues are safe. We've got strict orders to stay at home, avoid town, tourist spots & get the driver to shop for us !!!

Update: death stands at 23, not 100 as previously mentioned!

Update 26th April 1300 Hrs : Another 3 bombs goes off in Sinai, targetting peace keepers & police!
