Subject: RE: BS: Here we go again in Egypt
The attacks last fall in Taba ended a long halt in Egyptian militant violence. The last major attack had been in 1997, when Islamic militants killed 58 foreign tourists and four Egyptians at the Pharaonic Temple of Hatshepsut outside Luxor in southern Egypt.
No major attacks for several years, then a series of several of them in less than a year.
