CAIRO: Saboteurs blew up a pipeline that runs through Egypt’s North Sinai and supplies gas to Israel, state television reported on Saturday, although it was not immediately clear what impact the blast had on gas flows.
"Saboteurs took advantage of the security situation and blew up the gas pipeline," a state television correspondent reported, saying there was a big explosion. He also blamed the blast on "terrorists."
Residents in the area also reported a huge explosion and said flames were raging in an area near the pipeline in the Al-Arish area of north Sinai.
