Dozens killed in Egypt explosions At least 88 people have been killed and many more injured after a series of explosions in Egypt.
A 14-year-old British girl is among those injured by the blasts, and has been flown to a hospital in Cairo, The blasts happened at a holiday resort called Sharm al-Sheikh, with a car bomb tearing the front off of a hotel. Many Egyptians are among the dead, according to police, although some of those killed are tourists from other countries too, officials said. The British Embassy in Egypt has said that eight Britons have been injured and two are missing. The blasts happened within minutes of each other, and this is the worst attack in Egypt in recent history. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak visited the scene of the attacks and vowed to continue the "battle with terrorism". The explosions went off at 1am in Egypt (10pm on Friday evening in the UK) when bars and markets were busy with tourists. The worst damage happened at the Ghazala Gardens Hotel where witnesses say someone drove a car into the front of the hotel which then exploded. The bombings happened at the busiest time of the summer tourist season in Sharm al-Sheikh. Tourism is very important to Egypt, bringing in about $6.6bn (£3.8bn) a year.
