Again, we are winning that prestigious "war on terror". Job well-done, guys, is it time, once again, to hang up the glorious "Mission Accomplished" sign yet?

CAIRO, April 24 -- At least 23 people died Monday when three bombs ripped the Red Sea resort town of Dahab, the third attack on a tourist destination on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in the past 18 months. Monday's bombings occurred on a spring holiday when millions of Egyptians flock outdoors for picnics and when beaches are full day and night.

Initial reports from the Interior Ministry said the blasts hit two cafeterias and a supermarket. An employee of the Mirage Hotel in Dahab identified one of the targets as the Tota discotheque, which is located near an open-air bazaar. He said the other blast sites were the Al Capone cafeteria and the Dhazala supermarket, both located near a boardwalk along the sea.

"I went out and saw blood on the boardwalk," said the Mirage employee, who declined to give his name during a telephone interview. "I saw two dead bodies and rescuers were calling for blood donations."
