Three explosions rock Israel MIL, Oct 8, 2004. Our Reporter
The biggest of the blasts, which Israel claims of bearing the stamp of Al-Qaeda, was at the Hilton hotel in Taba, right on Egypt's border with Israel. Israeli officials say a bomb-laden vehicle blew up after ramming the hotel, killing at least 19 people. The other blasts hit backpacker beaches near the resort of Nuweiba 60km (38 miles) further south, killing two. Officials had initially reported at least 30 dead, but by October 8morning they said rescuers had located 19 bodies in the rubble.
An Israeli general says 122 people were wounded in the attack. Ten floors of Taba's Hilton hotel have collapsed, and it is feared some people may be trapped. At least two were killed in the other two blasts. Israel's deputy defence minister Zeev Boim, who is in Taba, said it was too early to say who carried out the attacks, but an attack like this can’t be preempted.
