Foreign Terrorists Linked to Sharm Blast

Security officials has revealed a link between the perpetrators of the bomb attack in Sharm El-Sheikh and "outside terrorists," says Akhbar Al-Yom, a leading Egyptian daily. The suspected group was not named. In the week following the 23 July attack that killed nearly 70 people, three militant Islamist groups claimed responsibility.

Officials has since then insisted there were no foreign elements involved in the attack, instead focusing the investigations on residents in the area. But last week, Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif surprised commentators by discussing the possibility of outside connections in an interview with the New York Times. But we do not have any evidence to prove that suggestion, he warned.
