A Palestinian angered by Israeli-Palestinian violence plotted and then died in the nearly simultaneous car bombings of a Sinai hotel and campsite that killed at least 34 people this month, the Egyptian government said today.

Eight Egyptians have been arrested and accused of plotting the nearly simultaneous car bombings of a hotel and tourist camp in the Sinai that killed at least 34 people earlier this month.

BOMBS killed at least 28 people in Egyptian Red Sea resorts packed with Israeli tourists, buried dozens more and sent thousands fleeing home over the border. Israel said it suspected al-Qaida involvement.
