Seventeen dead, 150 injured in Egypt blasts

Three explosions tonight rocked the Egyptian resort city of Dahab at the height of the tourist season, killing at least 17 people and wounding more than 150 at just one hotel, according to the doctor who runs Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula rescue squad.

Dr Said Essa headed to the scene of the blasts saying his casualty figures were for victims at the el-Khaleeg Hotel only.
