The AP story tells you who’s really to blame when bombs go off in Cairo: Israel. And they say it in the lead, to make sure everyone knows it’s really Israel’s fault that tourists were killed by Muslim terrorists in the Egyptian capital.
A homemade bomb exploded in a 650-year-old bazaar packed with tourists Sunday, killing a French woman and wounding at least 21 people, most of them foreigners.
Within an hour, police found a second bomb and detonated it safely. Security officials said three people were in custody.
“We were serving our customers as usual, and all of a sudden there was a large sound,” said Magdy Ragab, 42, a waiter at a nearby cafe. “We saw heavy gray smoke and there were people running everywhere … Some people were injured by the stampede, not the shrapnel.”
An expert on Islamic extremism said the attack might have been a response to Israel’s deadly offensive in Gaza last month.
Yep. That’s the way of the Middle East. Whatever happens, it’s Israel’s fault.
Montasser el-Zayat, a lawyer who has represented Islamic extremists, told the Arabic news channel al-Jazeera the attack may be linked to anger over the Israeli offensive.
“The nature of the explosion looks like an act carried out by young, inexperienced amateurs whose emotions were inflamed by the events of Gaza,” said el-Zayat, who once had links with extremist groups himself.
It isn’t until near the end of the story that the AP gives you what may possibly be the real reason tourists were killed in Cairo:
Egypt fought a long war with Islamist militants in the 1990s, culminating in a massacre of more than 50 tourists in Luxor in 1997. The rebels were largely defeated, and there have been few attacks since then in the Nile valley.
But from 2004 to 2006, a string of bombings against resorts in the Sinai Peninsula killed 120 people, including in the Sinai’s main resort of Sharm el-Sheik.
Gee. Look at that. Islamic terrorists have acted in Egypt before—but hey, let’s quote al Jazeera and blame it on Israel. Because that’s what objective media do.
Sooooo..if a tree fall in the barren sand forest called the islamic world and no one hears it, that would mean it’s Israels fault.
Well excuse me for breathing…
I might ass that jihad TV is pulling out all the stops to get broadcast here in Canada.I’m for freedom of speech, but this crud station manned by hacks, is nothing but apologist propaganda for hate and bigotry. Of course that’s Israels fault too according to those’ islamic’ terror experts.
