(IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Three blasts rocked a market and a busy restaurant area in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Dahab on Monday, April 24, killing at least 23 people, including three foreigners and wounding some 62 others, the interior ministry said."Around 7 pm (1600 GMT), we heard three explosions close to the seafront alongside a supermarket in the centre of Dahab," French tourist Frederic Mingeon told Agence France-Presse (AFP) from the town.
"There was a plume of smoke and people started running and screaming."
Citing rescue officials, Reuters said 30 people were killed in the explosions. The Associated Press, meanwhile, quoted the doctor in charge of the Sinai peninsula rescue squad as saying that at least 18 people died in the blasts.
State television said the blasts appeared to have been the result of remote-controlled bombs not suicide bombers.
