Egypt-Jordan Gas Pipeline Blown Up (Again)

Egypt's gas pipeline in the Sinai which delivers gas to Jordan (and used to deliver gas to Israel) was blown up again, for the 28th time.

It is believed that the pipeline in the Al-Arish area of northern Sinai was blown up by terrorists associated with one of the Islamic terrorist groups.

The terrorists planted the bombs underneath the pipe and blew it up from a distance.

Apparently due to the previous attacks, the pipeline was not in use, though it did have some gas stored in it.

Egypt has seen the number of terrorist bombings rise in the recent weeks.

On Monday a bomb was dismantled in an Alexandria post office.

Last week bombs blew up in Qaliubeya, Suez, Alexandria, Fayoum, Kafr El-Sheikh, and Cairo.

Attacks in the Sinai last week were claimed by a group calling themselves the "State of Sinai".
