Egypt Identifies Sharm Bombers
Summer Said, Arab News —
 

CAIRO, 5 September 2005 — Egyptian police have identified three 
suicide bombers who had carried out Sharm El-Sheikh attacks. The 
bombers — Mahmoud Mohamed Hammad, Mohamed Oudeh Saeed and Moussa 
Ghoneim — were identified through DNA tests. The three had travelled 
from the northern Sinai town of Al-Arish to carry out the attacks, 
police sources said. "Two of the bombers, who rammed vehicles into a 
hotel and a market, used gas cylinders packed with explosives. The 
third bomber carried a bag with explosives," they said. Police said 
the group that carried out Sharm attacks was also behind the October 
bombings on Taba and nearby resorts, as well as an attack in August 
on a vehicle used by a multinational observer force. The attack 
injured two Canadian women peacekeepers. "The group is led by an 
Egyptian of a Bedouin origin who believes that Muslims have to follow 
his orders without questioning," said a security source. "He managed 
to form terrorist groups in Sinai that do not know or have contacts 
with each other to avoid being caught by police," the source told 
Arab News. Another source said that the group has no link with any 
international terrorist organization including Al-Qaeda.

Algeria's FFS Calls for

Referendum Boycott

Agence France Presse

ALGIERS — Algeria's opposition Socialist Forces Front (FFS) called 
yesterday for a boycott of a planned Sept. 29 referendum on a draft 
national reconciliation charter, saying it would "consecrate 
impunity" for atrocities committed in the north African country's 
civil war. The FFS "cannot endorse a text that glorifies force and 
deprecates political mediation, consecrates impunity and amnesty, and 
in the end negotiates away pain and suffering," the FFS said in a 
statement.
