CAIRO: Egyptian authorities are looking for three Palestinians believed to be preparing attacks against Israeli tourists on the Sinai Peninsula, a security source said Saturday. Razmi Akram Abu Kholaa, Iyad Awad Abu Beid and Nidal Diab Amudi are being actively sought, by border guards in particular, the source said. It added that the three suspects belonged to a group recently broken up in the Gaza Strip that had been planning the attacks. On Wednesday, Israeli anti-terrorism chief Danny Arditi urged compatriots to immediately leave the peninsula owing to the high risk of an attack. Bombs killing at least 124 people in the Sinai exploded in Dahab this May, Taba in October 2004 and Sharm El-Sheikh in July 2005. Egyptian police are also searching for five terrorists they believe are linked to Al-Qaeda, who recently entered the region. AFP
