Israel To Benefit From Sinai Bombings: Experts

[drdon326]

A cohort of Egyptian security, political and diplomatic experts have concluded that Israel is the only party to benefit from the blasts that rocked tourist resorts in the Egyptian Sinai peninsula on Thursday, October 7, ruling out any possible Egyptian involvement.

Former Egyptian Assistant Interior Minister Mohammad Omar Abdel-Fattah said that while analyzing any such operation security experts should always seek an answer to the basic question of who stands to benefit.

At least 38 people, mostly Israeli tourists, were confirmed dead after a series of bomb attacks rocked the Hilton hotel in the Red Sea resort of Taba and another attack at a backpacker resort in Nuweiba, further south.

"Israel is the only party to gain from this operation," the international security expert told IslamOnline.net.

1. "Benefit" is irrelevant, save for the instigators. Egypt has its own

challenges with Islamic fundamentalists and their efforts to bring down the civilian government and create another theocracy.

As for Israel gaining "benefit", I don't believe this is MHOP or LHOP. The organizers just decided to go where there wasn't a "security wall" and a demographic (vacationers) would not be expecting to get hit.

2. This is drivel.

It is interesting that there still seems to be wide disagreement
in the news about how many dead people were generated in these attacks.

without Arab experts?
