From my sad experience sometimes the communication networks can't stand the load after such a thing, too many people are trying to contact each other.

Does anyone know the extend of Sam's injuries?

So glad to hear of the people that are ok, waiting nervously for the remainder.

What the hell is wrong with the world?
 
Re: Dahab New Thread - Post In Here!!

News being reported that it was a Marketplace, Hotel and Dive Centre being hit. This is coming straight off the news agencies however most news coming out is very confused.
 
Re: Dahab New Thread - Post In Here!!

Sam has suffered a small shrapnel wound to his leg. I do not believe it to be too serious. This news came direct from Sam's family as I was talking to them.
 
Re: Dahab New Thread - Post In Here!!

Reuters are reporting: An interior ministry spokesman confirmed the blasts. "There were explosions, but the picture is still not clear"
 
Re: Dahab New Thread - Post In Here!!

Just to say Lotta's been great.
He's got shrapnel in his leg but apparently he can walk - the hero!

Anyone know if Fred Stone is OK ( Turtle )??
 
I just left Dahab a while ago. Cannot belive terrorist were walking the streets and planning an attack. Its really really sad.
 
Roland, glad you are ok. I wonder if you have seen Fred and Annelie.
 
Roland I am very happy you are still here: I'm not done with you yet. Thanks for keeping us in the know. Stay safe brother.
Peace,
erik Y.
 
Hi Roland,

Glad that you're okay. Sorry to hear of this news!

Anyone have news or ideas on the political context of this bombing?

Pete
 
No news at all on political context. This follows on from 2004 Taba and 2005 Sharm bombings. I have been working with the BBC and they are reporting it is difficult to find information out of Dahab at the moment.
 
Al Jazeera just published this:

The explosions took place at the Nelson Restaurant, the Aladdin Cafeteria and the Ghazala Supermarket, the Interior Ministry said.
 
From swedish news:

 
my friends, as you know from my bio i'm a professional journalist, so i'm h24flooded with news from press agencies, but i'm sure you dont' want me to flood this forum too: I just can say that no names of victims are known by now, and I think such detailed news will hardly come soon. Some witnesses specify nationality of victims, but they are uncontrolled source. Let's wait and pray for our loved ones.
