CAIRO: Police on Thursday detained three more Egyptians suspected of involvement in the triple suicide attacks that killed 20 people in the Sinai Peninsula last month, security sources said. They were on a list of 25 people wanted in connection with the bombings that struck the popular diving resort of Dahab on April 24, a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity. He said two of them turned themselves in on Tuesday and the third on Thursday, in the northern Sinai town of Al-Arish. Since the bombings, security forces have been combing the vast mountainous desert of Sinai to track down the perpetrators. The interior ministry announced earlier this month that the mastermind of the terror organization behind the bombings was killed. Six others suspects and one member of the police force have also been killed since the government launched its manhunt in the peninsula. The interior ministry accuses the same group, Tawhid wal Jihad (Unification and Holy War), of being responsible for all attacks in the Sinai over the past two years. More than 60 people were killed in multiple bomb attacks on Sharm El-Sheikh in July 2005. At least 34 died in simultaneous bombings against resorts in Taba further up the Red Sea coast in October 2004. AFP
