EGYPT GAS PIPLINE BLOWN UP AGAIN
A section of pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan has been blown up, the sixth time, in northern Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, on Wednesday 11/09/2011 night (see – El-Arish 07.12.11).
Two blasts took place near the Mazar area, some 30km (18 miles) west of the town of Al-Arish, near the Israeli border, Reuters reports. The attackers used remote-controlled bombs, shutting the pipeline.
This is the sixth attack on the pipeline since the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak (see – EgYpt’s Victory Day).
A security source told Reuters that initial investigations suggested that improvised explosive devices were positioned under the pipeline and were detonated from a distance. Two trucks and extended wires were found at the scene, he added.
The blasts are apparently carried out by groups opposed to the sale of Egyptian gas to Israel and related to Al Qaeda’s ideology (see also – Jaljalat).
