Egypt Detains 70 People for Resort Attacks

SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt - Egyptian police searched for clues Sunday and struggled to identify bodies from the 88 people killed in three bomb blasts that rocked this Red Sea resort, sending foreign tourists scrambling to catch flights home.

More than 70 people have been detained in Sharm el-Sheik and elsewhere on the Sinai Peninsula for questioning over the bombings early Saturday. But none have been accused of involvement in Egypt's deadliest-ever terror attack, said security officials, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the inquiry.

The roundups appeared similar to police operations after last October's attacks at the Sinai resorts of Taba and Ras Shitan, when 3,000 people were detained and many complained of torture, according to locals and human rights groups.

Some 200 of those are believed to still be in custody, including two Egyptian suspects whose trial is set to resume Sunday.

where does Egypt send people? Gitmo?


Hey, I think it's a fair question.

I'm not mocking the deaths of the 88 people...I am mocking the hypocrisy of governments.
