"Terrorists planted two gas canisters on the road and linked them to an electrical wire. They hid in nearby apricot groves and blew them up," North Sinai governor Ahmed Abd al-Hamid said. Abd al-Hamid said only one of the bombs exploded and that the other was being examined by ordnance experts, adding that two female Canadian peacekeepers from the MFO were lightly wounded. He added that several beduin in the area had been arrested. A senior Egyptian security official confirmed the circumstances of the attack. There was no immediate claim of responsbility for the attack. Observer force The MFO was set up to supervise security provisions in the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. The North Camp at al-Gora, which is about 20km south of Sinai's Mediterranean coast, is the MFO's largest installation and site of the force commander's headquarters, the MFO's website said. The 11 countries sending contingents to the MFO are Australia, Colombia, France, Italy, Norway, the United States, Canada, Fiji, Hungary, New Zealand and Uruguay, the website said. Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, the first Arab country to make peace with the Jewish state after fighting several wars in the Sinai Peninsula. An Egyptian security source earlier said the blast was caused by a landmine left over in from wars between Israel and Egypt.
