Police are searching for more than a dozen Egyptians and local tribesmen believed to have played a direct role in the weekend terror attacks in Sharm el Sheikh, senior security officials said today.

Investigators have identified a body they suspect of being a suicide bomber in the weekend terror attacks in Sharm El Sheikh. He is believed to be an Egyptian with Islamic militant ties.

EGYPTIAN police were searching last night for three suspected bombers who they believe escaped the scene of country's deadliest terror attacks ever.
